Maybe this isn’t the place for this but, I do pay for their website, and some stuff is quality. However, even as a paid user, I’m subjected to CONSTANT, and I mean CONSTANT aggressive ‘upgrade’ offers. I was even thinking to post to mildlyinfuriating about it. I did the math a bit back and it was something like every 3-4 days since 2022 that they send me emails pushing me to upgrade from their least expensive plan. Not to mention forcing me to reject it anytime I clear my browser cache and have to re-log in. Also when I’m on the site I’m subjected to it. It’s frankly disgusting. When it comes to marketing they are only marginally better than Condé Nast 🤮🤮🤮
Yeah I don’t get anything either. I normally always just try to cancel when my subscription is up and they offer me an even lower deal than normal, like $1 per month or something.

Weird. I’m a paid user and I’ve never once been encouraged to upgrade anything.
I’ve got just about the lowest pay option too, so you’d think I’d be a prime target.
I use the app and a desktop browser (but with adblock). Where do you see them?

There’s a reason for that:
I appreciate the detailed link, but I do understand profit chasing. They’re just super aggressive about it. 🫠
