Ms Now new paywall
MS now decided that greed was more important than keeping the public informed by putting up a pay wall right before the elections. You’re not getting my email and I’m not paying money a month for mediocre. It’s not even journalism anchors because they don’t do any real journalism.. Maybe they should stop paying Rachel Maddow 20+ million dollars a year for one day a week! So much for MS now being for the people greedy corporations ruin everything

Membership Ripoff (Caveat Emptor) UPDATED
9/10 (1O AM) UNBELIEVABLE no Morning Joe 9/10 podcast or video on the MS Now app. But you know where I did find a video? YouTube! Whose running this ship? Get your act together.
9/9 And let me add, now that I have gotten over the shock of first time contact, your app podcast section does not include any of your major commentators🤬 And if one simultaneously uses Apple Podcasts to listen to shows like Morning Joe they want to charge you extra money to listen ad free🤮 How many combined ways can you collect money from unsuspecting customers? I have no issue with companies asking for compensation for their services but you guys have crossed the line in terms of what you are providing then what you want people to pay. An MS Now subscription should provide complete EQUIVALENT access to all your products without charging separate fees for each.
LAST REVIEW
From the start I was not thrilled when I read the MS Now membership did not extend to TVs. (I am a Direct to Consumer customer) But I thought I could suffer through that by using AirPlay. But when I finally signed up, and looked for on demand content from commentators I follow, it was 2 days old! SERIOUSLY? I can do better on YouTube! Sure, the membership includes live content streaming, which you could airplay on some TVs, but that’s not the point. The point is, and please correct me if I’m wrong, 2 day old videos are no longer news … their flashbacks. Their own podcasts are more current than that by far.
For current video news content there are much better avenues. As an example, try the MeidasTouch or The Bulwark on YouTube. Heck, use MS Now’s podcasts for more up to date coverage.
Cable news providers are out of touch with how people consume content and what they want emphasized. And for the baby boomers, who have adjusted to streaming, if they watch a major news provider they are most likely tuning in because of morning or primetime commentators. With news organizations like Ms Now becoming less relevant, how dense do you have to be to not provide timely videos of their shows in a subscription service?
People are simply not going to sign up when there are so many other ways available to consume news. MS Now cannot afford to make this kind of mistake if they expect to survive.
I sincerely hope they make this right quickly regardless of what type of service it addresses. This is non competitive in a world that has little patience for slow development.
