I thought I’d wait and see before commenting and it’s much worse than I initially assumed. A lot of the DH series I was going to get around to have the first few editions available as part of my service, but the rest are behind a paywall. That means I would have to pay £20+ to finish a series, even though I’m a Gold member. Some are a lot more. This is throughout their most popular titles. I would have preferred it if a whole series was behind a paywall, but something else I was interested in had every issue available through my Gold membership. At least I could read some series without having to pay twice. This is the most cynical way of doing it and it takes away the excuse of those series being eventually taken away, as I don’t believe DH would have taken away so many series within such a short space of time.
There are other books by different publishers I’m currently reading and if they do the same my subscription will be promptly cancelled. I doubt I will be the last.
