When Pro first started, it was $8000/yr. I did check it out at the time. Now, it is $75/mo with the onerous forcing function of requiring it for access to items > 10 days old.
This is still too much. Quality of articles here is hit and miss. There is much work for the reader to sift through and find what is useful. I would be willing to pay $10/mo for what SA delivers. If SA persists in restricting access to content, a competitor will be created with more reasonable usage rules / economics, and SA loses. Right now, you have built a go-to franchise that I and other use often. You have begun the process of destroying it.
For what I was looking for on SA right now, I am now going to other sites to find it. SA loses whatever ad or other monies would have otherwise been generated.
