I am one of them.
Agree with prior post about bothsiderism, etc.
I do find the DU posts with gift links to the rare decent article to be useful. If you subscribe, I encourage you to do that.
And set a calendar reminder before your renewal date. They (at least used to) force you to telephone to cancel auto-renewal. If you call and say you are cancelling you will get a much better subscription rate offer for the next year, if you do renew. Credit cards that expire within the next year can also prevent autorenewal without you choosing to do so
