Journal CmderTaco's Journal: The upcoming changes in the subscription model 2
As you noticed, our subcription model doesn't give us much revenue. Yes, we got some money from you, the lovely users, and also from the ads above, but it's far from enough.
Our subscription model was wrong from the first place, as it was based on ad-blocking. And nobody cares about ad-blocking anyway, so most people set in their configuration to block one ad per day, and that allows them to enjoy the "plums" for almost 3 years, and all that for 5 bucks.
Well, it's gonna change and you knew it would happen! First of all, we're going to offer many must-have plums which will create a serious gap between normal users and subscribers. For example: Subscribers will be allowed to have all sorts of fun in their journal. I'm talking about custom themes, custom icons and the IMG tag. They will be allowed to erase comments from their journal, and they will also have their own hit counter and a statistics page (including referers). And finally, they will have the option to let search engine index their page too.
And after that, we'll change the subscription model. Instead of buying blocked ads, you will buy subscription months. Current subscribers will be autoconverted too (10 ads == one day).
Sounds fun isn't it? I can't wait to see if it helps us.
