I seem to have been involved in scam. I wanted to read an article(I'm a paid subscriber)about a woman who had been scammed on a dating website and the article's continuation page 'forces' a donation to continue reading. I gave $1 and still did not get the rest of the article. I contacted support and after 45 min, there was no resolution to the matter. I have yet to see the rest of the article. I was refunded the $1, but THIS IS A SCAM.

Perfect if you want the challenge of handling 200 emails daily that are impossible to successfully unsubscribe from.

I've found many of the Epoch Poll questions and articles are written to either leave out context/history or weighted so I can't say I find this news source without bias, which is what I'm looking for. Why is it so hard to find a news source without bias?

News stories were relevant and often had good ground breaking stories. After several articles seemed that there was a bias to the reporting, especially clear in the reporter stories covered. Personally, when it comes to news, I am looks for a straight forward non bias platform, very hard to find these days.

I signed up as I like the content. From the start I had trouble reading the articles. Several exchanges with the technical personnel who suggested various “fixes”, none of which worked. It’s a mess frankly and they seem reluctant to help.

You always have the headlines but never follow up on your stories.

I did a survey through them and wanted the results so I input my email. They then proceeded to send me ELEVEN EMAILS over the next FIVE DAYS. Turns out they auto-subscribed me to their daily morning update and several other newsletters of theirs. If it were just the morning update, it would have been fine, I probably forgot to uncheck a box. But multiple newsletters? All of them about things I don't follow? I didn't authorize that. At least they made it easy to unsubscribe from all of them at once. Solid news source I guess but their uninvited barrage of emails was unprofessional.

Just received a copy of the Epoch Times in the mail....articles leave much to be desired in writing style and impartiality .....read it cover to cover and the articles are chosen with a conservative bend with evocative front page headlines like "Manufacturing Slumps to 15 year low as inflation accelerates".......just added 250,000 new jobs in Sept....manufacturing jobs are up 2 million in the last 4 years with investments for many new manufacturing plants....inflation as of last month was 2.4% just about right....headline is misleading and the paper is not worth any money

Dear Daniel, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on The Epoch Times. We appreciate your honest feedback and the time you took to review our articles. Our editorial team works hard to base our reporting on the latest available data and feedback, aiming to present an accurate snapshot of current events. For instance, recent economic data showed that in October, the U.S. economy added just 12,000 jobs, a substantial drop from the revised 223,000 in September. We understand that economic reporting can impact how readers feel informed, and we strive to present these trends in a way that’s meaningful and relevant. Your feedback is invaluable as we work to improve and provide balanced coverage. Please don’t hesitate to share any further thoughts. Warm regards, The Epoch Times
