My thoughts on Premium - The Site - and some misc thoughts.

[Mixter213]

I shall do even more sympathy... Maybe I'm not seeing the issue because I paid for premium while I wasn't sure how much life I had left and I wanted to say 'thank you'. But in comparison with other sites *I know* life time premium is really cheap here and I can't believe how cheap it is to get rid of ads. I understand that if you don't have the money then however cheap it is, it's too expensive but I keep going back to how will it be paid for and how can you 'persuade' people that paying premium is worth it? The same problem existed with flickr and youtube. I paid for flickr for years because I liked it (notice use of past tense). It wasn't about what I got out of it , it was about supporting something I liked.

 

I can think of lots of solutions but they're complex and lack the elegance of this solution... I do really, really sympathise. I sympathise too that you don't want people to rant... You sound like a really nice person! But I'm afraid that ranting is something they seem to have to do when you put them on social networks... :confused: I don't have an answer for that one either...

 

I guess if Nexus ever reaches the point that I can no longer be associated then I'll do what I've done with every other site that no longer matches my morality - I'll walk away... and that's really my only suggestion... And I sympathise if that's not possible either!

 

 

I would love to hear your opinions on my suggestions. Or better yet your own suggestions. but please do keep it civil and on topic

The solution is simple. Pony up some bucks. I don't see why there needs to be any argument at all about what Nexus is doing, which is no different from a metric buttload of other sites do in order to gain subscription support.

 

Keep in mind that such methods would not be used if they were not effective.

 

 

Suggestions #1 and #3 were ways to improve the systems, not find a solution to em. as they aren't broken, but of course with anything, could be improved upon.

Not everyone has the mind set of simply supporting the creator just bc they're using it. its the internet after all, thats why I made suggestion #1 to improve the current premium system that makes it comparitively worth to save up for lifetime or just buy lifetime outright.

Suggestion #3 was more of, there's a reason so many people (not just free users) are complaining about the new system. altho there are a lot of rants about it, there are many ways to improve on it, and still keep it.

 

Suggestion #2 was just a suggestion i think would be useful
