Agree, but this isn't all bad: their broken Web platform gave me free online access for years, because I noticed the "temporary instant access" link from the original subscription confirmation email was both reusable, and had no apparent expiration date, so continued to yield "temporary instant access" on-demand for at least five years after my subscription lapsed, and only stopped working as an apparent side-effect of a site reorganization that included a new authentication flow that wasn't compatible with the old link. As far as I know, it'd still work if I took the time to figure out how to enter promo codes into the new system, but, hey, it was a good run.
