It also dies behind dark patterns that prevent you from canceling the subscription. I've subscribed to a few publications over the years but not any more.

After getting burned a few times from an easy to sign up but impossible to cancel user experience I have sworn them all off.

I refuse to support subscriptions that require talking to a person. And waiting on hold and having to navigate the operator trying to prevent you from canceling. In my experience all media and news subscriptions do this.
