> I still am baffled by the degree of refusal to pay. I share the instinct to avoid subscriptions. This still seems like a clear case where heavy users should make an exception.

If there was a nice little local square you liked to go to, to hang out and chat with your friends, and then some jerk, some world-class jerk, bought the square, and made all sorts of heavy-handed unnecessary changes that made it a shitty place to be, so you could barely have a conversation with your friends any more, and then he asked you to pay eight dollars a month to stay for more than half an hour, would you pay? Would you hand even a single red cent over to this guy?!

It's all so exhausting. I just want to go back to the little local square of a decade ago.

Also paying for a subscription and still getting ads is just ridiculous.
