My Bloomberg column on the true inflation inequality:https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-11-18/inflation-inequality-if-you-like-new-stuff-life-is-cheaper?cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-view&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_source=twitter&utm_content=view&utm_medium=social …

That sounds like such an interesting idea, but Bloomberg says I've reached my free article limit and won't let me read it. Why not publish it on an ordinary web site?
The reason I never subscribe to news sites is not that I can't or won't pay for it, but that I assume signing up will be impossibly cumbersome, and that they'll both auto-renew the subscription and refuse to let me cancel without calling them on the phone.

I'd be interested to know which of the bazillion startup solutions floating around out there you're into. I toyed for a bit with an FB clone but where instead of a "like" you give a small bit of virtual currency (not crypto.. more like in-game currency that can be cashed out).

Anyway I'm glad I abandoned it b/c at this point I'd rather waste my life on literally anything but doing a social network, even one that takes off. Moderation doesn't scale, etc.

Almost all news sites do this. I subscribed to NYT or WSJ at some point in the past. Cancelling those was a nightmare. It’s just stupid. I don’t mind paying $30/month but please keep it simple “reader mode” type of content. Charge more for plain authentic well-researched content

So I guess you’re subscribed to Apple news and medium?

News sites limiting the amount of articles one reads on them is a virtue in disguise.

Ease-of-canceling has gotten a decent amount better in the last 3 years. Online services seem to have paved the way, and now consumers are starting to demand it. Amazon excepted, of course.

Irony alert, from the article. I opened the article in Safari to extend my monthly limit. Install a few browsers. Plus prioritize
@tylercowen - who is the only regular column I read. Plus plus don't optimize for wasted $10^2 on subscriptions if you have 10^8pic.twitter.com/5PwBMtK52J

This cognitive load is greater than canceling a subscription. https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Apaulg%20cancel&src=typed_query …pic.twitter.com/bZ5P0r2sqX
