There’s a reason for that.
Many people too, have observed that after canceling a subscription, it keeps arriving for months, even years sometimes. Why would that be? The reason is because of advertising. They are paid in dollars for the total number of issues printed and mailed out. So the higher the number the better, as far as they are concerned. A certain number of “free” subscriptions will pay for themselves. Obviously the trend is going the wrong way, as people cancel, but they want to keep the party going. If Americans got organized the way the lefties do, it would be REALLY interesting, REALLY quickly.
If only people could figure this out with Cable television and related. Just get about 35 million people to cancel, and really do it, and watch everyone foaming at the mouth. They’d probably activate the Narional Guard. All these wanker outfits are completely dependent on a steady stream of money coming in. It’s spent before they get it. Any disruption would be a catastrophe.
My GF’s son get Popular Mechanics. Never ordered it, has no interest. He gives them to me. It’s another mag gone PC.
Yes, I assume they have to do this to get readership up. It does not bother me, but if I was an advertiser I would be up in arms over this fraud.
