![]() The Internet Patrol: Yes, there was no option to close an account, only to change the email address The Internet Patrol: Thank you! For future reference, how does one do it without having to contact someone like yourself? I went ahead and removed your email and closed this account. Tom: Yes, I was doing this request for you. The Internet Patrol: It’s nothing more than my name and email address, I do not have a paid subscription Please give me a few moments while I take a look at your account. Tom: I went ahead and located the account. Please give me a few moments to get your account located. Tom: I would be more than happy to assist you with this. There is NO such option from account settings The Internet Patrol: I need to know how to *close* my account, removing my data (especially my email address). Tom: Hello, thank you for contacting The New York Times, my name is Tom and I will be assisting you today. Note in particular the parts we have bolded: Here, below, is an actual chat conversation that we had with a New York Times “advocate”, let’s call him Tom (not his real name). Put more clearly, your email address is the commodity, because that is the conduit through which, ultimately, they monetize you. Put another way, the New York Times has intentionally made it very easy for you to create an account – to get your email address – and intentionally made it very difficult to cancel that account, because, of course, just as with so many other online services (Facebook, Google, etc.), you aren’t the customer, you are the commodity. That’s right, your account – your free NYT account, that account that they are hammering with email, cannot be canceled without your personally contacting customer service. You can’t find anything even close to resembling a link or even a clue to cancelling your NYT account.Īnd that’s because there is no way to cancel your New York Times account online. So you log into the New York Times website, go to your account, and search for the “cancel account” link. So by day 5 you’re ticked, and you decide to just cancel the darned free (read as “useless”) account. But c’mon – they clearly know that you don’t want it. Now, you know (because you read the Internet Patrol) that by law they have 10 days to keep sending you stuff once you unsubscribe. So you go into your NYT account and unsubscribe from everything. Your tips via CashApp, Venmo, or Paypal are appreciated!
