A Threat to the U.S. Budget Has Receded, and No One Is Sure Why

- more_corn 3y agoNYtimes links are just an advertisement for a paywall. Which wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t also use dark patterns to prevent cancellation.
- halJordan 3y agoIt's a fine line sure, but between the archive sites and an honest subscription being $5 a month the "i hate paying" is overwrought. My local newspaper? Sure, $15/month is too much to know which municipality Comcast is currently shitting on when Comcast is literally hanging the unsolicited info on my door handle. By-the-by your moralizing is also out of date (unsurprisingly since you cheap out at less than $5/month) you literally just hit "manage my account" -> "cancel account" -> "cancel online" and Bob's your uncle.
- HelloMcFly 3y agoI am a subscriber to the NYT, but I can confirm it is not so easy to cancel. I can do as you suggest, but am directed to a page asking me to call a number or chat w/ an agent. Apparently some "eligible" accounts can cancel online, but most (including me) cannot.
- EduardoBautista 3y agoIt’s easier to cancel if you subscribe through the app.

- icodestuff 3y agoThey don’t mention falling life expectancies. If people are dying before they use as much care as expected, small wonder costs would rise less.
