see why it would come as a shock. I didn't donate until recently and to be honest a one time $10 donation for lifetime benefits is a steal. All Jefe is asking is or $10 every 12 months for new subscribers. That's nothing, especially knowing the demographic here. I have a few sites that hit me annually for much higher and I use them much, much less.
The $50 for premium is a bit steep, I agree, but Jefe is crunching the numbers every day. I'm sure he's got a reason for the price point.
