Seems like this really explodes the space. Recall:

This is correct. Most of the complaints here amount to “it’s too expensive” which like, yeah, it’s too expensive for you. So don’t buy it.
(Somehow HN — on average, obviously not everyone, but the zeitgeist say — manages to at once complain about companies constantly losing money, and also about companies that charge money!)
I doubt many would actually use it because complainers on HN aren’t average users, and the number of months you’d have to prepay would likely be quite high to actually make it make sense for the businesses involved.
But still, if you could make a business reselling monthly subs as 1-off purchases, it would be pretty dang cool!
I deleted FB nearly 10 years ago after a divorce left me unhappy and uninterested in sharing what I had gone through. Zero regrets, haven’t thought about it for years until reading this post.
It was annoying that some dating sites required it I recall though so do consider that.
Agreed, the styling has put me off by feeling broken / unfinished. In particular too little and too inconsistent padding.
However reviewing now I’ll say that for whatever reason it seems things are much improved. Still not my personal favorite but significantly more clear.
