I have for over twenty years bitched to the Robinsons about charging a lousy ten buck per month if you want to post and if FR is so important as all of the people that are clapping their hands today, then $81 K should be a walk in the park.
I am so tired of the self back slapping for free, when kicking in a few bucks is like pulling teeth.
Pay up or take a walk, if you cannot pay $10 a month, sell your computer and sit in the park watching the animals.
I’ve been around a couple of years longer than you have. This subject comes up from time to time. My guess is they have done all the legal work to keep to keep FR working. Charging directly to view and post to fair use content is probably a no-no.
