If you’ve purchased a paid subscription that includes access to specific features or categories of content, we won’t remove those benefits in a way that’s unfair to you—unless we also give you the option to cancel your subscription early.

That said, we may still make updates or changes to the Services, including for paid subscribers, as long as those changes don’t materially reduce the overall value of the service. For example, we may update contributors, discontinue specific columns, shift editorial focus, or make other similar adjustments that help us evolve and improve the experience.
