People, you can read WaPo, NYT, and Wall Street Journal in their entirety for free everyday thanks to your local library. Get a library card and you can read all of this for free plus more online.

Unsubscribe and the emails stop. Or get a job and pay for your news.

I have a job and I pay for the New York Times, having cancelled my WaPo subscription in disgust - so now all the spam emails are begging me to resubscribe. But that’s what the delete button is for.

Wapo sucks anyway. Why even bother.

Not sure I understand why people on this site think a gift article should work for hundreds or thousands of other people. How does that help the Post or NYT? If you value journalism, invest in it and subscribe. Can't really make that argument for the Post anymore since Bozos has ruined it. But NYT, WSJ, for sure.

I don't think Jeff can fix this.

I can't access Wapo gift links either.

Well, if you have a library card for your county, you can access the Washington Post for free.
