There are several publications I would willingly support (eg The Atlantic, the New Yorker) but I don’t and this is the reason why: I absolutely refuse to subscribe to services that are going to be a hassle to cancel. It’s the gym business model. I’m sure this shows incremental gains in revenue but I bet it’s at the cost of retarding growth. I want to start and stop a subscription as I please. I want to do it without having to speak to a human being. I don’t want to be called by the provider to renew my subscription. I will not reward or support scummy retention tactics.
