People cancel subscription.

"That's cool, just raise the price on the people still subscribed."

More people cancel subscription.

"That's cool, just raise the price on the people still subscribed."

And so on.

The ten people who pay for the subscription will be upset.


Seriously though… even older people who used to be die hard about getting papers have said “frick this shite” between technology, quality of the contents, and slant of the contents. Newspapers are a dying industry and their product is doing nothing to change that.

Holy sh!t! I remember when I was a paper boy in the early 80s for the Times Picyournose, it was right under $5/month. And, at that time, it wasn't quite yet just another DNC rag.

Dude, they are so desperate that they are offering 6-month digital subscriptions for $1. I'm serious. You're paying $40+/month for that garbage?? I understand liking the physical newspaper to read, but that is a complete ripoff.

I find those stupid SE editions The Advocates in my driveway.
One day the guy came by throwing one in my driveway.
I threw it in the trash and the person comes back throwing another one in my driveway a few minutes later.

Why the hell have you kept a subscription to that shite rag over the past 3 to 5 years anyway?

You should have cancelled a long time ago.

Every time I get one of those, I tell my wife I’m going to collect it up and throw it in the Advocate’s lobby.

Don’t put your trash on my lawn and I won’t put it in your lobby.

I have a digital subscription only and emailed them and told them to cancel it when the new rate of $20.95 goes into effect.

No wonder Brian Kelly wouldn’t take a check from the Advocate.

He must have gotten tipped off on the subscription increase and told SID to cancel their subscriptions for LSU.

Put $5/month towards Unfiltered with Kiran and you'll have all the news you need.

Unil now, I've kept a subscription because my wife likes it, and it was not a hill worth dying on. However, I just told my wife that at $45, I'm canceling. That's way the F too much money for this sorry excuse of a newspaper.
