Anyone else feel the same?

So I noticed the website now won't let me download anything without first hounding me to subscribe. I am not a fan of this, I mean I get it I really do. You would like to pay your mod makers, but I am not okay with now every time I download something I am guilt tripped into making me pay a monthly fee. I mean isn't that why I paid like 5 bucks WAY back in the day in order to not deal with add,s and this other BS? Sorry. I am just not happy with this right now.

It's your perogative to not feel happy, but jumping to unsubstanciated conclusions makes other people unhappy. The aformentioned jumping is your musing that the money Nexus so 'desperately' wants to get out of your fort knoxed wallet would go to mod authors. The reality is that, hey, keeping a server the size needed for the tens of thousands of mods hosted and almost 20 million members worth of traffic costs money. Not septims or bottlecaps but real money. Something you might not have thought about. Now, being a premium member I haven't got an inkling of the degree at which you're being harassed, but what I DO have an inkling of is that despite evil Nexus spirits being after your hard-earned cash, everything you download is free of charge. Like, costing no money at all. Except for the fee you pay for an Internet subscription, of course.

My issue isn't that they are asking me to subscribe, or donate, my issue is the amount they have switched to doing so. They went from not doing at at all, to it being completely obtrusive. I understand that they need the money to keep going, but as it stands being forced to click "No sorry I cannot afford to sub right now" every single time I want to download something is in my opinion rather excessive. It's like they went from one extreme to the other, which neither was good in my opinion. I'll admit during my initial post it may have come off a bit over the top, but I am still of the mind set that they are being far to excessive with the amount they are asking me to subscribe.
