Looking at a previous article on NYT at the comments section there are alot of people not really wanting to read axios:
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/07/business/media/axios-local.html#commentsContainer https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/07/business/media/axios-loca...
Not wanting personalization algorithms or not liking bullet points.
Overhere at HN the commenters are very positive.
Anyone has an idea if this based on demographics or interests that there is such a discrepancy?

- rchaud 4y agoOver here at HN, users would burn the NYT in effigy if they could, for no other reason because they force you to call them to cancel your subscription. BTW, I have successfully unsubscribed by just paying w/ Paypal and disabling the automatic payment from the Paypal UI. No, I don't live in CA and do not have any unsub-friendly laws applicable to me.
- Someone1234 4y agoCongrats on working around their dark-patterns, but that doesn't mean their dark-pattern business model isn't deserving of critique and warning others to avoid.
- rchaud 4y agoHow would others avoid them? This is standard practice for every major newspaper.
- esel2k 4y agoThanks for enlightening me. I live in Europe and just rarely get a NYT article recommended. I was curious to see axios beeing successful in such a different media business, also on how they focus on the local news.
