Thunderbird,
I don't think you're educating anyone with your statement. As a matter of fact, you are perpetuating the entitlement mentality. And based on what parameters do you conclude that a subscription model does not work? Project Camelot and Veritas are two different systems. We just do it differently and mutually respect each other's approach.
Would I want Veritas to be the only job I had? Absolutely! That is not the case yet, but I hope it will be in the future.
If someone wants to listen but cannot afford to pay, I'd be glad to add them to the subscription donation list. However, should someone receive value because they feel entitled to it?
Alternatives:
-Transcribe a show
-Offer some value
Some offerings:
-Subscriptions for the less fortunate
-No sponsors
-No commercials
-One hour+ of of each show free
If this is not enough, I don't know what else is. The key here THUNDERBIRD is the word VOLUNTARY. Someone who exercises free will and purchases a subscription, does it because he/she finds value. I hope your respect that.
Cheers,
Mel
P.S. Oh, and by the way, that number you quote (436) is just forum members. That is a totally separate system. Obviously, you went on an expedition trying to obtain information. You are welcome to ask me directly and I will provide you with facts. I don't hide. The majority of our members choose not to be part of the forum.
