I cancelled my WaPo subscription after Bezos personally intervened to block what to me seemed like an obvious endorsement of Harris and then scolded us all a few days later. No American should allow themselves to be scold by an oligarch without rebuke, and unsubscribing is the only way to do that.

Despite what the article says, it's pretty easy to decide that Bezos' direct and one step indirect decisions are what's driving WaPo downhill. Given the size of the comment sections on WaPo articles and opinions, it's difficult for me to believe that Bezos is doing these changes because of some surge of reader sentiment. Giving an intern a week in the comments, or doing some old school sentiment analysis of them would tell you that WaPo's news slant and fact checking slant were massively unpopular. This is another example of an oligarch's personal opinions pit in action that wreck an institution.
