This could be things that once were commercialized but are now public domain, or have largely resisted commercialization to this day. In this context I mean this as aiming for profit and being sold/monetized.

      I know, I solely use CGEO. It’s awesome. I’ve even logged one premium cache just for the hell of it. It’s just good to mention to people that there’s this premium thing since people bump into it anyway.

        Your original comment made it sound like there is no alternative for accessing those premium chaches though

          You can go around it but it’s annoying and not really intended for anyone but premium subscribers.

          Premium-only caches: Find geocaches designated for Premium members only.

          Premium-only caches offer VIP access to thousands of additional geocaches all around the world. Cache owners decide if their geocache pages can be seen by all members or only by Premium members.

          Dunno why some decide to set them premium only

              From what I gathered is that some caches over a certain difficulty are set as “advanced caches” and don’t show up in the official website or app to people without premium.
