£5.99 a month...
i cant believe people actually pay that for what is essentially a forum.
it'd probably be decades before they made that off me in advertising.
They could have had my money too if what they were asking were reasonable and i retained the ability to use RIF
RIF is still working (not using it but i have friends that showed it to me) i dont know why
Boost still have access when I left. I read that it actually takes a while for the API changes to be implemented.
Intermittently working for me, cannot log in though
Yeah if they made it so that you had to pay $5 per month or moderate a sub with >10k subscribers to keep using third party apps, none of this would happened and they would have been able to make more money off of it.
$5 a month is still a lot imo. i'd do $12 a year ($1 a month billed annually or 6 monthly) which is still an order of magnitude larger than the amount they would get from advertising for me
Yeah $5 is a bit much for what it is. I picked that number because it's the upper limit for where I'll go "fine have money just don't bother me any more"
