  • I cancelled my Washington Post subscription. Lots of people are right now, as the newspaper said it won’t endorse a U.S. presidential candidate this year°. I am constantly astounded by Trump’s awfulness and think him having a second term of office would genuinely threaten America’s democracy, but that’s not the reason I cancelled. I’d been meaning to do so for a while.

    I only subscribed because it was dirt cheap. But I found it had a shocking lack of content for a major newspaper. I’d launch the app every few days and go to, say, the technology section and there’d seemingly be almost no new articles.

    Anyway, like most subscriptions they try and convince you not to cancel by offering you a discount. To try and change my mind they offered me a plan of £2/mo. But I currently pay £1/mo. They didn’t change my mind.
