This is probably an inappropriate use of the term "cancel culture", but I did cancel 2 subscriptions this weekend. I canceled the meal delivery service I was using - the meals were just not good enough to justify the expense. And they weren't varied enough either - one of the main reasons I wanted to use the service. That's not to say that I wouldn't considered another meal delivery service in the future - maybe one that involves more meal preparation using fresher ingredients, rather than these pre-prepared meals I had been getting. The other cancellation I made this weekend was a lot tougher decision. But I canceled my TIME magazine subscription. Since the pandemic started, I haven't been reading it very much - its become a fortnightly issue rather than a weekly one, so a lot less focus on "current" affairs. Besides, I'm a lot less interested in consuming any sort of news than I used to be anyway. Controversially, I would also say that the most recent featured articles in the magazine do not particularly interest me - catering a bit too much to the politically correct crowd by seeming to exclusively cover minority or niche issues that I don't particularly care about (maybe I should, whatever). For example, the most recent cover article was on how the pandemic has changed a generation of students. Something I, frankly, couldn't care less about - what about all the other generations that have been impacted?! Everyone has. I was okay when they were bashing Trump, but now we've moved on from that there isn't anything left to justify getting it.
