Inspiring Content, but hundreds of ads National Geographic Channel has been a source of awe-inspiring documentaries and educational content. It is my go-to channel to relax. The visuals are stunning, and the storytelling is both informative and engaging. However, the overall experience is marred by the excessive number of advertisements. The frequency and duration of ads interrupt the flow. Sometimes I even forget what I was watching 😀 I understand the importance of ads, but it would be good to balance how often you show them.

They'll harass you forever Be careful about getting a NG membership and magazine. They will harass you forever. I tried to cancel my father's membership when his Alzheimers progressed to a point where he could no longer read. Every other subscription promptly cancelled and refunded. Not NG, I had to let the whole subscription run out. And meanwhile they sent demand after demand for renewal. I politely asked at least a dozen times over 4 years for them to leave us alone. Now my Dad is DEAD and they are still sending renewal notices. They are heartless monsters.

Fire customer support people Just had the most ridiculous conversation with not 1 but 2 (supervisor) customer service people..... First from Philippines who COULD NOT UNDERTAND AND ANSWER BASIC QUESTIONS RE: no issues received for 3 months. Both she and supervisor (American who spoke English) could not listen or understand the problem. Each gave different info re: problem, then adding 3 more problems.

Subscription to spam National Geographic used to be a very respected journal. Now, they teamed up with Lindblad Expeditions. Once you subscribe to National Geographic, they sell your address to Lindblad Expeditions without asking for your permission, and you start getting catalogues of offensively expensive travel offers, tens of thousands of dollars per trip, from Lindblad Expeditions, and it is impossible to stop. Cancelled National Geographic because of Lindblad Expeditions spam. Called National Geographic for help to stop the spam. Looks like the spammers may be their partners. The frequency of spam got less but did not stop. Please, save your sanity and DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!!!

The Nat Geo mag was once a venerated… The Nat Geo mag was once a venerated chronicle of people and places—no more. It has digressed into a pop culture social rag with issues found on every media site. Its become “Mother Jones” with an Atlas. Too bad! It desperately needs another editorial team in order to restore it former glory.
