He's mixing up "revenue" and "profit."
Definitely more revenue, but the increase will all go towards my commission.
Right, Jefe?

Sounds like more than just a way to simplify the language, which is fine.

I really don't expect it to have a significant impact on revenue.

I can put up with almost any changes....as long as CB stays...not sure what I would do if we lost CB.

So basic is $10 a year? What is premium?

You can enjoy 90% of CB for free.

Holy.... 50$ a year

I’m sure they’d appreciate that. We will see what we can do

For $50 a year will it automatically move the dollar sign to the front of an

If I were a non-donor there’s probably no way I’d ever become one under this new
Odysseus

I agree. $50 per yr seems high and why i dropped off. Interesting that OP
roseyscenario
7/1/18 11:52am
I didn't "disclose" it because it didn't change.
El Jefe
7/1/18 12:24pm
Wait, so if previously you hadn’t donated, then chose to join basic for $10/yr
TCuz
7/1/18 12:58pm
My understanding is you only keep access on a year by year basis
Odysseus
7/1/18 1:01pm
Huh. Good luck with that.

I think it's a smart move to be honest. You are used to the old rules so I can

It’s odd to charge so much to the very people providing the content for the site
Icecat
7/2/18 11:46pm
That's a fair assessment, and definitely something I should consider.
El Jefe

Reddit does have a subscriber option as well. And in terms of Facebook, it's free because they're selling your data
kirty
7/3/18 9:22am
subscriber option only removes ads as far as im aware.
coltonbyu
7/3/18 9:24am
Here you go
kirty

"6. Create members-only subreddits" is the only one you cant do anyways
coltonbyu
7/3/18 9:35am
Reddit doesn't "allow" those; there's really not much they can do to stop them.
El Jefe
7/3/18 9:54am
reddit has a premium option, but only removes ads. They dont hold back features.
coltonbyu
7/3/18 9:24am
So glad I made that one time donation a few years back

Too bad about the change... probably will be less new donors now.

The only thing I wished basic donors could do would be to add photos directly
Don_Juan_El_Guapo
7/1/18 3:21pm
Problem with that, as I see it, is that uploaded pics directly to CB affects the bandwidth and cost directly.
Bert609
7/1/18 3:29pm
That and the lack of ads are the two most costly premium benefits.
El Jefe
7/1/18 3:43pm
Might you consider intermediate level for those who don't mind those 2 matters?
roseyscenario
7/1/18 5:43pm
The point is to provide additional benefits to premium subscribers beyond just no ads
El Jefe
7/1/18 5:47pm
If you can't allow uploads for people who pay $10 a month... Beyond greedy
coltonbyu
7/1/18 4:11pm
$10 a year.
JayOwen
7/1/18 4:31pm
Sorry. 10 a year. Still greedy. Compared to ad income from these users the costs
coltonbyu
7/1/18 6:27pm
Greedy? C'mon, man. This isn't just a hobby for jefe.
cougfanblue
7/1/18 7:39pm
And yet he still earns money off me. It's not charity
coltonbyu
7/1/18 7:57pm
"more ads per viewable page than the average"
El Jefe
7/1/18 8:02pm
You are right, though. I do still earn money from your use of the site, and I have no problem with you continuing that.
El Jefe
7/1/18 8:33pm
You're forgetting the potential costs of someone suing me because you upload an image you didn't have rights to.
El Jefe
7/1/18 8:01pm
As owner, Jefe has every right to charge what he wants, and you have every right
garyfan
7/1/18 8:40pm
Nobody pays $10/mo
El Jefe
7/1/18 4:37pm
We still get to shame the non-donors/subscribers right?
Superman21
7/1/18 5:32pm
Yeah, but now $50 premium users can shame those lame "basic" users
coltonbyu
7/1/18 6:27pm
No we can't. That greedy El Jefe makes it a point for mods to penalize posters...
cougfanblue
7/1/18 7:44pm
Lololol. Good laugh there. Never once seen one punished for mocking non-donors
coltonbyu
7/1/18 7:58pm
Of course you haven't. If they're punished for it, we deleted the post.
El Jefe
7/1/18 8:04pm
Well than an embarrassing amount slip through the cracks
coltonbyu
7/1/18 8:09pm
Probably. I don't think many people are inclined to report those.
El Jefe
7/1/18 8:30pm
Whining about $10 is just sad. I’m poor and even I feel bad for you
Epileptic Beagle
7/1/18 8:21pm
If you only pay $10, then you are just "basic"
coltonbyu
7/1/18 8:23pm
You gonna survive as a basic subscriber bro?
Epileptic Beagle
7/1/18 8:29pm
I still remember when it was $5 donation. Then they upped it to $10. Can’t
