Date a reporter to cancel your WSJ subscription

Many moons ago, my parents gifted me a subscription to The Wall Street Journal. I enjoy a lot of their writing on the economy, finance, and global politics. I also read Bloomberg and The Times to attempt to have a balanced diet of mainstream media (this is when I bother to read the news at all, to be clear).

One of the pesky things about most large news organizations is the hoops you have to jump through simply to cancel your subscription. Like many tech companies, it’s not in their best interest to make cancellation a simple task.

However, I will commend the WSJ as they have made digital cancellation much easier than it used to be.

Let’s suspend belief for a moment though. What if in order to cancel your subscription to had to go on a date with one of their reporters? This would almost certainly guarantee 1) a lot of horrible social interactions for reporters and 2) lock many WSJ subscribers in for life.
