Every year in December I start seeing these nice ads from Economist, FT, NYT and all others and I'm really tempted to subscribe to one of them. But then I go to Reddit and look up reviews about unsubscribing, and see things like "simply call some international USA phone number, wasting a lot of money in the process and when/if you'll get to a human on the other end just dictate them an obscure number not visible anywhere except during the new subscription process" and I nope the fuck out of this idea. The Economist alone lost probably a thousand dollars from me only, which I would have wasted in a recurring sub, like I already do with video streaming services or MMOs. If only they had a sane unsubscribe option online. And the longer I avoid expensive online press, the more I will probably avoid it altogether, since now I know that I'm really not missing much in the very long run, over several years.
