But do you have an alternative model ready?

I was a subscriber to the NYT until recently, had been for over a decade. They don’t track subscribers any less, or show fewer ads. So I tried the alternative but they were too greedy.

Also you can’t cancel a sub online you have to phone them! Or just cancel it on the credit card side...

Same with lemonde.fr last year. They wanted ME to send an analog letter to their unsub service. I wanted to kill somebody but

What i did:

1)switched the payment method to a virtual credit card (revolut)

2)that i made instantly disappear once it was on their server. They are dumb enought not to have a register of my previous payment method

3) LOL at their email "We cannot charge you"
