The pain I went through to stop The Economist has made me reluctant to subscribe to anything too - and I run a subscription publication business. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this approach hurts revenue overall.
- mihaaly 3y agoOh! I thought about re-subscribing to The Economist. I was subscriber several years ago. I like their content and buy the paper version occasionally. You made me think again. And yes, unluckily those toxic 1/3 being hostile to subscribers hurt everyone else. : (
- brewdad 3y agoI've had good luck subscribing through third party resellers. I can set the subscription to auto-renew at the same price I had the year before or If I want to cancel, I notify them and they do the cancellation for me. Currently, I have my Economist subscription through https://www.discountmags.com https://www.discountmags.com. It's cheaper than the Economist site and easier to manage. There was about a 4 week delay in starting my subscription though, so that's one drawback.
