Oh man; I was going to support the GP post, but then I remembered what unsubscribing from The Economist was like, and my mouth is filed with Bile & my brain is filled with pure sheer hate.

They made it so difficult to unsub, I just waited until the credit card expired.

I vowed never to pay for a news subscription again. Big mistake.

Yeah, I refuse to resubcribe to them or the Times.

If the only way these ailing news orgs* can survive is by being manipulative jerks to people trying to stop paying them, then let them burn.

* Neither the Economist nor the Times is ailing
