		ademup on Jan 31, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Want to Stop Fake News? Pay for the Real Thing I subscribed to a year of Washington Post and received a ton of spam-ish content, notifications, and pleas to renew during the entire period. Lesson learned, cancelled with predjudice.

I'm a WaPo subscriber (digital) for a few years now and have received virtually no correspondence from them at all, payment-related or otherwise.

Did you not unsubscribe to their emails that you didn't wish to receive?

I get at least 3 emails a day from them. The "Post Most" alone comes multiple times a week.
