Yeah, it didn't do that years ago. You do get some series, if you just sign up for the base subscription. I don't know if these are made with the site and the rest are licensed, which is why you need to pay extra to read them?
But the enshittification is real. People lose the sense of how mu h money they spend, when you have to buy tokens to pay. And you can never buy the correct amount, so you end up having to pay more for enough tokens to get what you want.
It's shit and I just took this as a sign, to not participate anymore. I won't be sailing the seas, but I absolutely get the people who do.

Edit for grammar
