i personally like Ars Technica quite a bit.

i loved that it was an option. not sure why it was changed.

I agree that subscription fatigue is a huge thing, and I avoid services as a rule of thumb unless there are real reasons for the subscription, ie ongoing usage based costs.

That said, I view $2 a month as a reasonable subscription cost, and if Reddit had charged that I would have happily paid it to keep bacon reader. It’s only the one time payment cost that is very steep ($99).

I chip in $5/mo for lemmy.world to help pay to keep it ad free and running
