Comment on The Only Patriotic Choice for President
HuntressHimbo@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoI get that its important to you they endorsed someone but do you really want to be spending money at the place that lied about the Oct 7th sexual assault stories and then refused to admit it? Like really we have forgotten already?

The thing with subscriptions is that one can cancel any time. I missed the Oct 7th stuff because I never read the NYT. I am about to start. If I smell bullshit, I will cancel and support a different outlet. No biggie.
Bezos messed up though because his WaPo stunt made me look at my subs with Amazon. So now I have cancelled WaPo, Audible, Kindle Unlimited, Amazon cloud storage, Prime Video ad-free, and we have just committed to purchasing significantly less from Amazon. If that works out, I will cancel Prime. The net effect is (or will be) tens of thousands of dollars less spent with Amazon per year.

Honestly, they’re cherry picking. On average their news is fine. You want to diversify your sources, else you end up in a weird bubble. Just remember that if you come up on a year subbed, you can get it for a dollar a week again by talking to support to cancel.
I don’t see NYT being worth it’s base price but the promotional price is fine.
