Writing.Com General Discussion

That's hard to argue with, it makes total sense. The problem I see is that if someone's decided that they don't wanna pay that 6 cents a day then they aren't going to pay it regardless. Very few, if any, will pony up for a paid membership. While decreasing the server load cuts costs, those visitors who can't access content are likely to get frustrated and leave the site, and are therefore less likely to access other areas of the site that could generate revenue. It's a move that drives traffic away from the site entirely, and eventually the writers will stop generating content because no one's there to see it. I think the better option would be to try and increase profit from the sources that are lucrative rather than limit content. I'm well aware that I could be wrong about this and I'm talking out of my butt here as I'm not familiar with this site's traffic patterns and how interactive story viewers interact with the site, but that's just my take on this.
