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.
Can I still view all your website content for free?
Yes! We have no plans pay-wall our content.
However, we feel that it's fair to expect readers to either view adverts or have an active subscription to view ad-free.
Will you be doing exclusive content only for supporters/subscribers?
No, we don't currently have any plans to produce exclusive content for our paid supporters. We believe in providing a choice for you to either view our content with adverts or pay for a subscription.
We don't want to segregate our audience into two groups and want our content to reach as many people as possible.
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.
