Exciting news for who? Only the site owner is excited that a free resource now requires a subscription
“Yay! Now I have to pay another subscription! I’m so excited! Let’s celebrate with them!” - nobody
Subscription based services are okay. You pay for water, electricity, maybe a gym membership…
What’s not okay is that they paint it as “exciting news!”
Assholes.
I don’t think you should have to pay for any of this
Water and electricity are not subscription based.
Do you not make a monthly payment for water and power? If not, then where do you live so that I move there?
There’s a difference between paying for usage and paying for access.
Although with all the fees added, most of what you pay isn’t even usage anymore…
