Wired Magazine

This used to be a very good magazine focused on technology. Over the years, it has increasingly become a conduit for leftist, anti-white, anti-male, anti-heterosexual, anti-capitalist, anti-Republican propaganda, seemingly written by ignorant, bigoted children. Occasionally, a good article slips past the Woke editors, but that doesn't happen frequently enough to justify a subscription.

Once my go-to magazine for technology, reduced to a political and social justice rag. I really don't want to be inundated with politics with every turn. It's sad that there are really not any really good magazines that talk about just technology with no slant.

I love WIRED. Perhaps because it gives me a balanced view and access to so much information that isn't common knowledge to average individuals. Perhaps the high tech world doesn't appreciate it.
In my world of health care the information covered here is not our focus. We are busy saving lives and supporting individuals during stressful periods in their lives. Full disclosure: I am a Nurse Clinician and semi-retired. Our salaries are pocket change for those in tech and business.
I deeply appreciate Wired with their articulate; insightful articles. They appear ethical actually cover great a variety of subject matter.
I really don't understand their low value rating. It is the reason, I was motivated to write. MARTY

Wired.com has many great articles and thought provoking insights, but when it comes to customer service, all of these great perks totally disappear in ashes. 3 times I contacted their customer service team.the agents keep changing every time, and you have to explain your issue again; none of them just give a damn and want to close your query before it's even resolved. For a company who writes about latest trends in the world of digital and how important it is to put a customer in the centre of the business universe, their own strategy seem to lack that one.

Not an objective outlet. Reviews are not based on facts but subjective opinions of the writer. Very much useless when it comes to getting information on a product.

Although beautifully presented, the US edition of Wired imported into the UK is an absolute joke, given the price, how much advertising do you need? The current edition was light enough on articles as it was, 50% of the mag was advert after advert. At this price point I don't want ads, if you're targeting this as a premium product, then fill it with something worth paying for. I normally get the UK version, no idea what happened to it this month.

The international subscription process appears deliberately designed to mislead potential subscribers. A price $10 is offered, you select your country and a method of payment, in my case PayPal. The PayPal window is hidden which I have never seen before with a message to reopen it which brings you to a successful subscription message where the price has quadrupled. The appears to be a deliberate delay in the change of price being displayed once a country is selected until after you have committed. This is very poor and unscrupulous behaviour and does nor reflect well on the publication. It is also very very difficult to contact them internationally to fix this. I am really unimpressed, I've never seen this price change slow down before and can only conclude it is deliberate.

Wired has the poorest customer service I have ever encountered. The call service worker was rude and dismissive when I tried to figure out why I had a full subscription charge after dropping service over a year ago. The worker was extremely dismissive, having sarcastic undertones when I just wanted to clarify information. The worker had the demeanor of a spoiled child who doesn't want to do the job they're hired to do. All in all, don't subscribe because from start to end, Wired is not worth any of your time.

This is not a critique of Wired Magazine but you may be able to address this.
I just saw the tv program "Print the Legend" about 3D printers. Amazingly, through the entire program about 3D printers, there is not a single description of exactly how a 3D printer work!. I'm sure other viewers must have been as puzzled as I was.

I attempted a free trial offer of this magazine and realized it wasn't for me. No offense to the subject matter, just not my style. I then proceeded to cancel the subscription as to not be charged, only to have this magazine constantly attempting to debit my card 29.99. This has been going on for 3 months now! I emailed a few different addresses I found to tell them the situation. One came back as a false email! The others won't even respond! Awful customer service! I had to cancel that card so I wouldn't be charged anymore! Good luck to anyone attempting the free trial! My advice is, DON'T!
