Why are you offering a supporter/subscription system?
We want to offer a choice to our readers.
Until now, we have only generated revenue by displaying adverts around our content, and we recognise that some of you would like an ad-free (faster) browsing experience.
To allow that to happen, we needed an alternative revenue model; instead of viewing adverts, paying us directly with a subscription allows us to continue to run a viable business.
Will you be adding any other perks/features to the supporter/subscription system?
Most likely. The initial offering is about allowing you to view our site(s) without adverts.
We will poll our audience to see what other features/perks would be desirable in due course.
Yes! Memberful (the system we're using to power our supporter/subscription scheme) will handle your auto-renewing subscription. You can also disable your auto-renew before your next due date to prevent it from automatically renewing.
