Sorry about the confusion over the “subscription” of what is a one-time payment for a Core Sequence. The “subscription” status of this first Core Sequence was a result of the way we originally set up things with PayPal. We are working to change the one-time purchases to a “buy” option not a “subscription”.
Our goal is to do exactly what you said at the end of your post. We will have a single subscription option where you can subscribe to all new promoted posts from Less Wrong. This will be a monthly recurring payment model. Then there will be a list of Core Sequences available for purchase (like buying an audiobook). You’d buy them individually.
We will have some additional core sequences coming out shortly and hope to get the promoted posts subscription option up and running very soon. Thank you for your feedback!
Thanks for the quick response. I figured that you probably wouldn’t be trying to do that (it’d be awful for business, for one thing), but from what was written on the site as it stood, I couldn’t find any reading of it that said anything else.
Hello again Endovior, just wanted to let you know the changes have been made. Now it’s no longer a subscription but a single purchase. Thanks again for the feedback and your patience!

Awesome, was waiting for that to be fixed before sending you monies. Subscribed now.
