Back in 2017 I made a spreadsheet of shows to catch up on and paired it with a couple of news apps so I could read interviews after each episode. The plan worked until a paywall started shuffling what I could read and when. Some days articles loaded fine, other times the same link demanded a different tier. I experimented with account settings and refreshed logins but the inconsistency made it hard to keep a routine. To understand if others ran into similar hurdles, I sifted through accounts shared at https://msnbc.pissedconsumer.com/review.html, noting comments about sign in loops, renewal surprises, and how quickly support fixed access errors. Seeing those stories helped me set calendar reminders for trial periods, disable auto renew where possible, and keep a separate email for media signups so changes are easier to track when a show season ends.
