Tl;DR modders should be supported directly and we shouldn't be charged money for things that are technically free. I'd think they'd be getting enough money from AD revenue to run the site and pay people to run it and fix issues. What with the amount of traffic this site gets, and all. From my perspective, it seems like someone's trying to make money off free mods (most mods being made out of a desire just to create for something they like or to have fun). I get that there's a donation pool for the modders and I'd be happy to support THAT, but not pay to have my downloads capped because someone's trying to make a quick buck and sell me features I don't want or need. I'm here for the game mods. That's it. I already have a way to view the site ad-free without paying for it. So I don't need that. I don't get PM's from anyone and the only alerts I get are to endorse the mods I like. So there's that, no need to pay for a bigger inbox. I think the thing that irks me most is that the cap is only 1 to 2 Mb/s and certain downloads can take hours or DAYS now. I don't know how, but last year I was able to download things MUCH faster but I don't remember why. There's my two cents about it.
