          Have fun having all your (and everyone else’s) media supplied by the Koch Brothers because you didn’t feel like finding someone worth paying $7/month to

            I’ve been having no problem avoiding them for free for decades. Making petty threats just makes you sound unreasonable.

              You would describe the current state of the US, and the way the majority of the people in it view the world and how they understand what’s going on and what they should do (about climate change, about politics and who to support), to be no problem?

              Or you think that where people get their news and their understanding of the world plays no part in the massive problems that are at work in the country?

              I’m not trying to get into a big back and forth with you about it. You can have your own opinion on those things and you’re welcome to it. But it’s not at all a petty thing (to me at least), and it’s not any kind of outlandish threat – it is the simple present day reality. In my opinion.

        What kind of gift card? They seem to accept some “promo code”, but if that’s coming from a gift card specific to this site, no one will be able to use that.

          If you really feel like the Seattle Times knowing your real name is a catastrophe, you can buy one of those Vanilla Visa gift cards and use that for the subscription. I think that’s not necessary, but it’s certainly an option.
