Sure it changes something. No new users can have "donor" status w/o
paying the $50 annual subscription. That is a pretty big price for the average user on here. That means religion, politics, and other categories are limited to the donors we have now, or the limited group that wants to spring for the $50 annually.
The quality of gen-pop will go down, with some posters going to FO all the time, and no new blood going in. Monthly posts have already been dropping over the last year or so, and this will likely impact that more.
I understand what Jefe is doing here, but the price barrier outweighs the utility for the average user, and I think that will accelerate the trend of fewer and lower quality posts.
$10 to $15 per year makes sense. $50 is a big deal.
