Would you pay to go ad-free on the Talk App?

Hi guys, I’ve got a bit of an unusual question, bear with me!

Some of you have mentioned you would be willing to pay to go ad-free, so we’d like to know your collective thoughts if we offered ad-free Talk in the iOS app, with some extra benefits.

On the iOS Talk app, if you could have:
- Ad-free Talk
- Increased allowance of photos
- Extra Mumsnet Emoticons

Would you be willing to pay a monthly subscription? If so, what would be a fair amount? This wouldn’t affect any of the existing Talk features, which everyone would continue to get for free.

No, absolutely not.

Although one thing to remember is that if you're dealing with billing etc then there would need to be a phone number for billing issues. Would that lead to lots of disgruntled users calling to moan about their posts/threads being deleted/complaining about trolls and/or troll hunters etc etc. Could become mayhem

If one of the perks was the ability to ONLY show the OP's posts in threads then yes I would! After the first few posts on a good thread I become uninterested in other PP's posts and only interested in what the OP updates with and it's a pain to have to keep scrolling, looking for the light blue username for updates from OP. I often miss one or two updates if I've scrolled too fast. That would be an awesome feature that I'd pay for alone!

Maybe £1.49-£2.49 a month?

Lol!

No.

But if the ads got on my nerves I would just stop using the site and find another one

No.

I wouldn't - the ads are small banners anyway so don't interrupt use of the app.

I'm an android user so I'm excluded anyway but no I wouldn't pay a sub to use a forum.

There are plenty of ways already to do the things you're suggesting as perks.
