Cancel your subs, tell their customer services why, and what they need to do to get your custom back, then get from *other* sources until they come to their senses.
Seems like only a boycott will get their attention.
If the authors represented are in blissful ignorance, look for a way to message them also.
Yes, I am starting to come around to this view as well. I wrote Analog about this well before Christmas and did not receive any response. I would have thought that a magazine with such a small circulation would take their few readers rather more seriously than they do.

I have been a reader for almost 40 years now; I remember, almost as if it were yesterday, picking up the June 1973 issue in a shop in Edmonton after school one day and being completely enthralled by it when I started reading it. It depresses me to think I may stop reading this magazine but it's getting to be not worth the effort. It's not as if I don't have enough to read.

It is rather ironic that an SF magazine would be unable to really get to grips with the digital age... sigh.
