I can vouch for H: The incessant upselling. I'd like to pay for the Economist, but last time I unsubscribed, they forced me to wait on phone hold for a half hour, then go through another half hour of verbal upselling spiel, like "have you considered changing to a biannual subscription?". Never again.
- linza 2y agoI'd pay for news, even bad ones. I see it like a donation to the Red Cross or something. My experience and reasons for not paying anymore are similar. Used to pay for The Guardian for some time, but when they started pestering me about a subscription renewal the whole thing felt a lot less classy. Now it suddenly was about me and not news anymore. Me too: never again. I would pay for anonymous vouchers or similar where I'm not identifiable to the newspaper, though.
