Why is it that we’ll pay $39 a month for the millionth repeat of a fitness model doing squats and pushups but we won’t pay $10 a month for quality, daily journalism? I’m generalizing of course but I’m curious the psychology behind this.

Is a cancel subscription button too much to ask for? It's 2020 and we're expected to call to cancel.
It has nothing to do with it being 2020 that you have to call to cancel. This is simply to make it harder to.

I’m curious if there’s ever been another side to this argument - has anyone ever tested the counterintuitive idea that easy reversibility encourages returns? For
@Medium just the annoying extortion when a card expired put me off from the $5/mo. -
@paulg do you want an iTunes for journalism? Wouldn't it incentivise more click baits?

Great idea! Would love to see alerts for thresholds (when I hit $15, when I hit $20 etc)

After subscription not working out for me, I got tired of trying to cancel subscription. So I canceled my credit card instead. True story

Aside: We need credit cards that generate unique credit card numbers per-use that we can control.

It took me two goes to cancel my
@thetimes subscription on the phone. Add to that I then got spam calls for months afterwards from them. It makes people really unlikely to resub.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Good point. Maybe the way to go is a Patreon like service for journalism. You get paid IF I'm satisfied with the quality of your content - basically, I'm paying to encourage you to keep doing good work.
