My local library has a certain number of electronic subscriptions, so I am able to read The Economist on my iPad with the Libby app for "free" (i.e. paid for by by local taxes).

I would GLADLY pay for a print subscription, because I greatly prefer physical magazines over digital. But whether it's magazines, satellite radio, or whatever... I'm just not subscribing to anything known for not letting people go.

The economist cancellation process is an email last time I did it (I subscribe in spurts). Not as ideal as a button but not as egregious as requiring a phone call or something.

I sent them three separate emails over the course of three weeks in addition to the failed online chat cancellation.

Never a response.

I’ve actually had this experience with them before but thought they had gotten better, but I guessed I’ve learned.

Their email responsiveness to anything other than a cancellation is pretty good though.
