fireant's Journal: Subscriptions

Wow, such a big deal is being made about subscriptions. I admit, I was a bit dumbfounded when I first heard about it. I was also kind of confused as to why such a seemingly complicated system was chosen.

The IRC log answered all my questions and made me feel much better about the whole thing. I like the configurability aspect too. I read one comment about a subscriber who said his /. browsing habits already changed. I don't know if that was the point, but I honestly don't see a point in reloading slashdot 30 times a day (as he said he used to). I don't see my habits changing with a subscription...

I act like I've already got one. Not yet, I'm waiting for the Paypal fund transfer to complete. I've had a Paypal accountt for a long time (at least a year), but I never actually put any money in it. Strange, huh? I honestly don't remember why I got the damn thing, but now I've got a reason to use it. Once the transfer is complete (by Wednesday supposedly), I'll pitch in my $5, and I'll see how long it lasts.
