| No, you do not to pay for anything but the problem is that "Public" (at least for now) just mean that "if another MeWe user (who isn't already a contact) visits your profile they will be able to see all your posts that you have marked as public". This helps a bit when you are, for example, deciding if you want to invite them to join your group, or have received a request from them to connect or stuff like that: before that you had only the masthead pic and their nick to decide (as most people do not even bother to fill in their profile). But [I did test it myself] when you try to copy the url of your MeWe profile or a link to a specific post of yours and open it in a different browser you will be asked to login to MeWe. "Pages", as I said, despite being designed for special entities like fan clubs, newsagencies and so on, behave the same way: outside of MeWe you cannot access them.
They are cheap though (like 3$/month) so my suggestion to MeWe was something like: "Please allow me to be able to make Public posts available to non-MeWe members. I will be glad to pay for this a monthly fee in the ballpark of what you ask for Pages, and it would be ok if - in case I stop paying - all my Public post revert to the current behaviour (and become visible again outside in case I start paying again)". Looked reasonable to me, and I understand they are looking for ways to monetize some of the services... except that at the moment you can pay for stuff like "an extra set of emoticons/avatars" or "Activate Night Mode"... :-/ |
