*Decades worth of content free website with tons of features, also tries to make a living using standard ad practices for the premium product.

Sorry.. bootlicker I guess. I've gotten thousands of hours of joy from that site. I'm still using tabs from half a lifetime ago. The mobile app is fantastic too. I've supported them when I've had the cash. A lot cheaper than lessons would have been for 30 years.
Why does any of the value they've brought to you and others preclude a shitty and predatory business decision? I've had their pro membership for years, but the fake youtube video is some premium, grade A dogshit.
That's a totally reasonable point of view. I guess I just don't think that's worse than any other ad bullshit. My bar has been set by my experience. Of all the wars we're losing, ads isn't one I fight anymore. But I understand it's a big deal for people.
