I've just managed to unsubscribe from The Telegraph, which I subscribed to back in 2020 thinking I really should try and understand more than my own point of view. I mean, maybe I should, but the Telegraph hasn't really helped on this front, tbh.
Anyway it was a c9mplete pain. They will only do it via phone and want a long gonversarion with you. It took me about 1min amd 3 clicks to subscribe and I would not have if I knew I had to ph9ne to unsubscribe. I loathe phone calls and avoid them, including with friends, I only have one friend I call and that is a temporary situation because she has cancer.
I just think if you can subscribe online at any time, day or night, you should also be able to unsubscribe online, any time of day or night. Its taken me months to get to the point where I am simultaneously 1 not at work during their appointed hours 2 capable of making phonecall and 3 alone in the house (I can't manage a phomecall if other people are in earshot)
Yes maybe I should be a more capable adult who makes phone calls but I am not. If I'd had to subscribe by making one, I wouldn't feel annoyed. But I feel really annoyed. It feels like a trick of a scam, they are meant to be the venerable upstanding moral new organisation of the right and they have scammed me.
None of this has made me any more open to right wing views, either. What a silly experiment of mine
