I too kept my WaPo subscription, though I was definitely tempted to cancel. After my initial outrage receded a little, it became clear to me that no only did I love and support the many great contributions of that paper (from Carolyn Hax, to Dana Milbank to Alexandra Petri to Ruth Marcus, and even, on occasion George Will), but if the Post failed it would be worse for the country, not better. I also realized that if I were able to wean myself off of other Bezos enterprises, specifically Amazon, it would be much better for me personally and the planet as a whole. It’s been really hard work trying to do this, but I already feel like I’m DOING something positive, which today is a really hard thing to accomplish.
I really hope that most of the folks that cancelled their subscriptions come back, and find better, more positive ways to vote with their dollars.
