This is illegal in California. So NYT subscribers in California can cancel on the web while everyone else has to go through the gantlet you describe. When I subscribe to something via my phone or Mac I always do it through apple, because they guarantee a painless cancellation. And this is despite the fact that on the Mac I purchase software outside the Apple Store when it’s an option. Managing subscriptions is that bad.

  It may be illegal now, but not when I tried cancelling. I just blocked the credit card payments and let them deal with their own shit.
