Feedback number deux:

1. From first glance this is an education website

2. No free tier, so you can't actually take any of the quizes without paying at least $25.

3. This is when I closed the tab

We think it's a good idea to charge for products (generally). I know it's not hip, but revenue and profitability allow us to ...

1) Provide very high quality education because we can afford to hire full-time Teachers, instead of crowd-sourcing the curriculum

2) Be profitable, so we can stay in business and continue to grow the service, which benefits our Members

Would you guys be willing to do something like a Bronze plan, where maybe you get access to the videos but no offline viewing? I'd love to pay something like $10-$15/mo for the most basic access.

Also, I'd like to toss in my obligatory "Awesome job with the design!" comment.

I agree, it's good that you guys are charging from day 1
