From the rest - about 50% are unavailable as "coming soon". As a result, I saw less, than in free site! As an any mentally sane man, I have demanded refund, and tried to explain siteowner his problems. What I got in answer? - threatening to add me (LOL) to total blacklist for all paysites... I was confused and try to explain to Mac and Bumble men, that such way is not better decision in honest business... Am I wrong?
But all mentioned above is not a big problem and reason to proclaim. But next my reply ...vanished from their ticket system (wonder!) ... and instead of refund, my mailbox start to get a SPAM with "ton of new features" from them! Is it a boorish method of business or just a agony?...
Always very sorry when beautiful project are in the dirty hands... Hope, I am wrong.

I'm having a hard time understanding what you're saying, but I believe the gist of what you're saying is that you oppose trial memberships? Sorry you feel that way, but we feel that we aren't going to give content away to people who are only paying $3.95. If you would have upgraded your membership, you would have seen everything. What's wrong with charging people to view content? That's the business we're in.
