Jeff Bezos owned Washington Post readers were notified via email that their subscription rates are being raised using readers data. At the bottom of the email you’ll find an asterisk and the following: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”

    I am not suprised by this, every subscription is monitored, i feel like we all know this at this point

    Isn’t that kinda the point of being signed up subscribed to a newspaper?

    Like, I can see it catching you off guard. But that’s what happens when you continue to support Bezos 🤷‍♀️

  3. At this point, just cancel your subscription.  WaPo ain’t worth your time or your money.

  4. Seriously, who subscribes to this stuff? Yeah, I’m gonna pay monthly to read US/Israel/Corporate propaganda. Is it boomers?

    Subscribing to The Washington Post is some degenerate shit in the first place

  6. Normalizing pricing means no matter how much the upper middle class makes the quality of life will not improve.

  7. It’s just a propaganda machine at this point. Too bad, it used to be quality journalism. I always loved it when the flight attendants found one left on the airplane and gave it to me.

  8. This is why they want OS level accounts: so you cant even log out to see how they’re forcing you to pay more. Got a raise? No you didn’t, they calculated for it and now you pay more.

    Literally putting the American dream in a bathtub and drowning it. Raises will never again be raises. And every company will excuse their own stab in our backs.

    Everyone saying to cancel your WaPo subscription – you cancelled your Prime subscription, right? And never buy things via Amazon? That’s where a boycott would matter slightly more, not the tiny institution he’s trying to run into the ground.

  10. I guess ‘We used AI to make sure we’re getting every last penny’ didn’t test well in focus groups
