Armathyx Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Remember how Nexus used to be? Log in, browse through all the mods you could imagine, not being bothered even just once with "premium" advertisement on the website? Yeah, well that's the Nexus we want, not this blatant money grab some people in the staff have setup. We don't care about faster download speeds or fancy account upgrades, we're here for the mods and we'll donate to the mod authors if we so desire. The more you beg for money the less I'm inclined to give you anything. And by the way, don't give us the "but muh server costs" bullshit. You ran the website for at least a decade without any of this premium crap. Just take it with you and go home, would rather have slow download speeds than seeing this on every page.

Who is this "WE" you you keep referring to? It costs money to keep a website online, and since there's so many non-paying users they had to resort to using reminders.You've been a members since 2017, so, three years isn't really a long enough time to reminisce about the "Good days" You pay a monthly internet access bill, or do you use the entire internet for free too?The Nexus doesn't "Owe" you anything. There are now around 18 MILLION Users, and of those 18 Million, there's roughly 200,000 that actually are paying members, that's an incredible amount of bandwidth that 200,000 users are paying for and contributing to while you complain about being inconvenienced for 5 seconds on each download because you want to download all those mods for free. Oh, and that "We'll donate to the modders if we so desire"In THREE YEARS, you have given ZERO Endorsements, you can't even be bothered to do that, so I'm questioning the point about Donating.

Dark0ne Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 We've had ads for Premium Membership on the site since it was introduced as a concept in 2007. On every design we've ever had there's been an ad for Premium on every single page of the site and on the download page for mods. In previous designs it was between the top nav and the page content, now it's simply in a different location. So take those rose-tinted glasses off and get back in the real world. Thanks!

Arthmoor Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Active account for 3 years, only post is to whine about optional subscriber services. Gotta love it. The internet is not the communist utopia you've been told it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugustaCalidia Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 In 2007 I became a member of Nexus Mods. I can personally attest that ads for Premium Membership have always been visibly present. I was never offended by those ads because I was well aware that the site required both advertising and membership revenue to stay in business. Nexus Mods membership is now almost 23 million members. I suspect that those who complain about the Premium Membership ads are often people who simply have no idea what it costs to run a site serving that many people.

Ethreon Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 The site allows you to login and search/download any and as many mods as you want without stop, so the only one in a bad situation to make any comments (read whining) is yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's loads of them out there, you know?

How much do you pay a month for your Internet? As premium users, it's means we support the site, and like any other site, want to enjoy the convenience of faster download speeds. Being inconvenienced for 5 seconds on each download is apparently too much to ask of you, so you pine for "Ye Olden Days" of 2017, when things were good. BTW, you have given ZERO Endorsements to any mods, so I doubt your line about Donating to modders carries any weight, I mean, it's ONE BUTTON you can voluntarily press, that you haven't done for three whole years, because you can't even be bothered to do that, in three years you made your first post today, and it was complaining about the site being a little bit more inconvenient to use for YOU, while writing out this Manifesto of "THE NEXUS WE WANT", when it's quite obvious you don't care to participate AT ALL. You can still continue to use the Nexus for free, but now YOU have to be inconvenienced a little, that's life. The only thing missing from your OP was the oft-used "I was JUST going to get a membership to this site UNTIL THIS, now forget it".™ I bought Lifetime back in 2008, it's more than paid for itself in these 12 years.
