Any company that requires that I call an 800 number to cancel my subscription will never get a dollar from me again.

Amen, though once I called them it was pretty easy to get them to cancel me. SiriusXM, though...spent 25 minutes on the phone arguing with the rep that I didn't want to pay for their service anymore, in any fashion or form. I was begging them to let me cancel by the end of the call.

Glad I'm not the only one. NYTimes and SiriusXM are companies with solid products whom I refuse to do business with due to the hassle of cancellation.

Meanwhile Netflix allows you to sign-up, cancel, or even temporarily pause your service without a single moment of hassle.

I've cancelled two accounts with them before and never called an 800 number...

This is worth it if you read their content even slightly regularly. But I really only visit the WSJ when it's linked to me like on HN. I just checked my Chrome history and I've visited 10 articles total this year, counting this one. So $18.50 per month doesn't really seem worth it to me to read 2 articles a month.
