So the move has nothing to do with principles, just money? If the Observer & FT are both paywall-shielded, what’s the point?

Thanks but No Thanks

cookieaob.bsky.social•31 days ago

Jay, were you forced out like Carole? I have just cancelled my Observer subscription. I think I may well get an FT subscription instead.

janthie.bsky.social•34 days ago

Ah. Good.

I had decided it would be self-overindulgence to get a subscription for a fifth publication, 'just' for a food column.

This offer has convinced me I should tell my inner spoilsport to get a bloody life.

Thanks for telling us about this!

janthie.bsky.social•33 days ago

Done!

preno67.bsky.social•34 days ago

Au revoir after all these years...

boatoftheseus.bsky.social•34 days ago

As if I didn’t have enough to do today. Just subscribed. Just don’t move again or do it at a quiet weekend

Perhaps you could ask them why there's STILL no FT Edit app for android? Ta.

janinegibson.ft.com•33 days ago

you can access it through your browser!

ianrobinson.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yay. This is good news.

You have no idea how you have made my Sunday special for so many years. Your reviews have been an inspiration. Sad to see you leave!!! Hopefully you'll be back at Pizza express in Holborn soon

spire-123.bsky.social•33 days ago

First Alan Jenkins and now you. Signed up to FT

ajwegsound.bsky.social•34 days ago

All the very best with the new column, Jay!

macduff60.bsky.social•33 days ago

No thanks. Sorry to lose you from The Observer. I guess money talks.

jayrayner1.bsky.social•33 days ago

Fair enough. Worth saying that the Observer will also be going behind a paywall.

macduff60.bsky.social•33 days ago

As a Guardian/Observer membership holder, that matters not to me. But, why the hell would I want to pay for the FT, of all things? I wish you well and as I indicated, I'm sorry I'll no longer see your reviews.

anbaric.bsky.social•26 days ago

I would be surprised if Guardian membership still includes the Observer when it goes it alone.

macduff60.bsky.social•26 days ago

Well, it's all run by the same trust. So, we shall see. 🤷🏻‍♂️

jayrayner1.bsky.social•26 days ago

The Observer has been sold by the Guardian.

tcadagio.bsky.social•33 days ago

100% this. My favourite reviewer, but.....

Delighted that you have joined the FT - the world’s best newspaper! I was privileged to meet your Mum many years ago when she was a guest at a Readers Digest event which I was hosting. Remember her well.
