I got the following when I tried the link to subscribe:

If you skip the survey you end up on scroll.com:

That clarifies it quite a bit for me, thank you.

must be a geo-ip thing ... I got a page offering me this service for $4.99 a month

EDIT never mind, once you click through to subscribe it's that survey. This whole thing seems a bit disingenuous ...

It's one of their trial site things; I doubt they expect people to go directly to it from HN, they expect people to know that these products don't actually exist yet.

[rusk]

It literally says ”Sign up now!”

[SamWhited]

Yes, because it's one of their trial sites. It's supposed to look exactly like the real deal, but not actually work. Normally you'd get to it from a blog post or landing page explaining this.

[rusk]

have you got a link to such a page?

[SamWhited]

No, I can't actually find one for this product. I don't know how they announced it, however. It does seem to be the same kind of trial thing they've done in the past though.
