GenericUser3 A monthly sub can tell the company "Please fix this issue or I'm cancelling my sub". A lifetime sub does not have that leverage.
Yeah ... no. If you talk to a team of techs busting their ass to make the site better and say "fix this or im cancelling my sub" they would say cya later. If you can make a clear recommendation, it can apply to more people than you, and benefit people and make the site better, then it will likely happen in time whether you bring it up or not. But your "leverage" attitude would be ignored 100%. I went from monthly to lifetime, you get treated exactly the same, still real life people you are dealing with even if these are just typed words. Just dont be a dick and expect to world to revolve around you.
If 1 person has an issue they want to cancel over, nothing is going to change. It a lot of people make the issue apparent, then it will probably be addressed in some way. That has nothing to do with monthly or lifetime.
