Content-wise, the quality is marginal, and you'd be better off subscribing to other publications. (Try ProPublica or local independent sources like Block Club Chicago or Voice of San Diego.)

The real issue is that you sign up for 2 years. In that 2 years, you'll forget you're subscribed. They will not send you an email about your impending auto-renewal. When you get smashed with a $179 charge, and try to cancel, they will only let you cancel *future* subscriptions and tell you your current subscription is ongoing.

If you email them, they point you to a FAQ that says the same thing -- you're stuck for the next 2 years.

The only way to cancel your current subscription is to dispute the charge through your credit card company.

This is a $#*!ty way to do business. Extorting and strong-arming people is not ethical. Also, they should at least send an email about impending renewals. But in general, forcing people to use your product does not say much for the product.

The reason the subscription period is 2 years is now apparent -- so you'll forget about it. It's scammy and scummy.
