I hate so many companies just because of these “make it difficult” policies… it’s just disgusting. NYT did it to me as well, they will never see a penny from me again. Economist? It was just clicking around in the site! I unsubscribed and resubed from them multiple times and am a happy subscriber right now as well!

Thats changed then - several years ago they gave me a right dance involving phone calls and emails. Lost me as a customer for good.

I think anybody’s mileage might vary in these situations. I’m aware of once case with a German publication where I had to call to unsubscribe (and was told to send physical mail!!!) and some other person could just cancel their contract per email… But I like the publication too much to name them :-)

I was fortunate enough to subscribe to the Times through the Apple Subscription platform. Only took me one click to unsubscribe.
