Ask HN: Is anyone else having trouble with economist.com?

1 pointsby j-wagsalmost 2 years ago
In the past few weeks I&#x27;ve started getting randomly logged out on both my iPhone X (safari) and Macbook (firefox+ublock). Tech support appears to be giving me the run-around (reset your password, &quot;send a picture of the issue&quot;) and has repeatedly suggested that I just install the app.<p>I&#x27;ve become increasingly disappointed with the Economist digital services - I intend for it to be a calm, insightful news source, but instead it serves me flashing ads, has started pushing video and audio content, and every so often I have to re-confirm that I don&#x27;t want it to sell my personal information. I just had to go through a multi-page user retention maze to unsubscribe. These are bizarre moves for a subscriber-based business that relies on trust.
