Funny he talks about the Boston Globe. I canceled before they rolled out the online cancellation. I had subscribed early during the pandemic to try and have something high quality and local to follow. The online version of the paper is a lot worse than the old paper version was years ago when I got it. Lots of clickbait articles and articles intended to rile up online subscribers and drive engagement in the comments. When I went to cancel the process was absolutely horrific. And it also revealed just how scammy the pricing is. The globe would be happy to let you have a subscription for $1 a month. But if you just go in and subscribe they will charge you 10x, 20x, or 30x that amount. You only get access to the cheaper prices once you tried to cancel and had to fight it out with the representatives on the phone. It sounds like the new online cancellation process is something everyone should do to lower their prices even if they don't intend to cancel. If you just sign up they might charge you $30/month, but as soon as you try to cancel they'll give you a way better deal.
