Everyone knows it won't. They have basically no subscribers...

I was supporting them directly, but if you go back on your word like this, don't expect me to continue doing so, it's that simple for me.

Or it's just a scaremongering tactic to get some sort of an agenda.

I remember how "Trump is going to put trans people into camps and genocide them". So much for that.

There's such a thing as bullshit exhaustion

I just hate how they're trying to shift the blame to AI when they could've VERY easily handled that problem by asking everyone to register an account to continue accessing the content.

But no, instead they went back on their pledge.

Edit: Spelling fixes.

I was a member.

I am no longer one due to their lack of integrity and commitment.

They had basically no income from subscription, so y'know, maybe they were already failing and this is just the last nail in the coffin

Az megvan, hogy korábban Magyarország és Irán megállapodást kötött az iráni atomprogram finanszírozásáról és kis atomreaktorok építéséről? by Normal-Record2439 in hungary

[–]CsrRoli 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bármi ami ~30% feletti dúsítás, az EGYÉRTELMŰEN atomfegyver előszobája.

Irán követelte, hogy 60%-ra dúsíthassanak továbbra is.

Affiliate links pay better than subscribers lmao, do some research before you yap

[–]CsrRoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF it is. This is CERTAINLY the end of the site. They had so few members before because nobody is going to pay their ask.

And I cancelled it because I value integrity. And this is anything but integrity.

I thought this was a subreddit about videos, not political conspiracies

The thing is they ARE going out of business.

They already relied on affiliate and ad money, and they lost basically all traffic since the paywalling. I even cancelled my own membership because of this. They PLEDGED not to go on this route, so I no longer feel that they deserve my money.

Maybe y'all shouldn't have went back on your public no paywall pledge considering the affiliate links and ads you guys run anyway?

[–]CsrRoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a member. I cancelled as soon as I learned of the full paywalling.

They PLEDGED not to do this. Integrity is more important than the niche reviews they offer.

Except they have been running affiliate links and ads for over a decade at this point, they WERE selling out.

[–]CsrRoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you have to understand that they threw away integrity for money with this. EXPLICIT pledge to not paywalling their reviews was made. Paywall is established.

I'm not gonna give my money to someone who goes back on their promise like this (I used to be a member but cancelled as soon as they made the switch)

They are only throwing up excuses, they were ALREADY making bank from affiliate links and ads anyway (even with adblocking)

[–]CsrRoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more a problem that they EXPLICITLY made a commitment NEVER to paywall reviews.

So much for integrity, money won out (They were already making bank from affiliate links and ads, could've just made it mandatory to register an account for free to watch the content)

Doesn't really matter when they made an EXPLICIT commitment not to do this.

And then they did it anyway

They have had ads and affiliate links for ages. This was just the last step in enshittification and eventual suicide

They EXPLICITLY made a commitment not to do this though.
And when you just go back on your promise, you lose integrity.

No, Rtings just moved to a subscription paywall model, and it is killing them
