Do you pay for content on websites?

[Yoshiniro]

Do you pay for content on websites and or premium section/service? If so what sites, and is it worth it?

 

[vi edit]

I pay for premium service here. And yes, it's worth it.

 

[iamwiz82]

i pay for AT, however i'm starting to think it isnt worth it. I just dont visit here enough anymore.

 

[BeauJangles]

I pay for Merrian Webster's advanced online dictionary... very helpful, IMO.

 

[bmacd]

just a subscription to AnandTech...it's well worth it IMO, especially having cable.

havent yet. I was about to pay for the AT subscription, but then the non subscriber speed sky rocketed. Also i don't have a credit card and i'm in the UK so i'm unsure how'd i'd pay

this site only
i used to pay at Arstechnica, but i quit paying there, no speed difference/no benefit

 

[Lady In Red]

No, but I've been thinking of getting a subscription here.

So far I'm very pleased with everything here - so I should support what I like.

 

[Lonyo]

Would pay for anandtech if I could, but being in the UK with no credit card doesn't help much. Other thna that, I'm not sure if anywhere else is really worth it.

I used to pay for Anandtech, but my subscription ran out last month and I doubt I'll resubscribe

 

[Paulson]

I still have 189 days left of speed here at anandtech...

I was just thinking the same thing. I was gonna pay for Byte.com since they just started chargin but I only look at the Chaos Manor Articles. They are buy a guy Jerry Pornelli who is a Sci Fi writer but a tech as well. The articles were always fun to read and he recommened good products. But since they charge now I dont feel the price worth it to look at just his monthly articles.

no

No one said/admit pron? I thought it's suppose to be the most profitable business on the net.

i don't think that's true anymore. pron is easily attainable without paying. also online porn markets are struggling so much right now due to heavy competition, online fraud, peer-to-peer distributing etc... (read from Wired)

 

[wfbberzerker]

never.

Also, if it was a site the I visited frequently, and that I found useful, I'd gladly pay a nominal fee ($10-$20) a year for that service so long as I didn't have to put up with pop ups and other increasingly annoying banners and ads.
