Will you all be paying for Mumsnet Premium?

[WorraLiberty]

I'm not sure yet but I'll probably pay for a month and then see what other features they bring in.

Thread by Justine incase you haven't seen it

YABU = No

YANBU = Yes, I might give it a try

I too have signed up, for the same reason that @Mummyoflittledragon has given.
Personally, I don't think there should be an edit button, because as has been said, it can give carte Blanche to abusive posters. I just want rid of the ads, and am prepared to pay for that because I'm able to.

I'm on the bones of my arse as im in tourism and no bookings = no money
Netflix wins!

I would do it for £1 a month. I also have Disney plus & it's ridiculous to cost the same.

I'll consider trying it for a month, but if I'm going to pay I'll expect a more professional approach to moderation, eg no sudden bannings of people because there's been a dog pile of complaints about them. Like PPs, I think making us pay for an edit button is outrageous.

No chance.

I think the price is completely unrealistic and won’t be paying it.

I can't afford it, simple as that. Been here since 2003 and feel suprisingly shaken by this development

@UnfinishedSymphon MN is not unique. There are many other mother/female led platforms very similar that have the same breadth and depth of experience.

It wasnt that long ago a mumsnet employee was posting peoples ip adresses on twitter...

Am I fuck giving them my bank details

Fuck me. Really?!? Please tell me someone was prosecuted for that.

I had a comment deleted the other day for calling myself a twat
That's hilarious

There's no real reason why MN should be "free", it's a business as any other after all

It should be free considering we provide the content. Take away a large amount of users and the ad revenue plummets its good businesses to have more people using the site.

No, definitely not, I don't subscribe to anything and never have, unless of course it's free.
I can see why those with a high disposable income would though, so let them pay for us all.
Plus, I am on here too much anyway, and should be getting on with other stuff.

I agree with SarahInAccounts in that I would need to be happier with moderation. I have been on MN quite a while now but have found the scaremongering on the coronavirus threads unpleasant- not something I would pay for. This might just convince me that it is a good time to leave - really dont like the idea of a two-tier system.

It's not though it gets paid for adverts like Facebook, instagram etc

Absolutely not.

If advertising revenue is dropping, how does a premium service that shows even fewer ads to the (arguably) "most loyal" members going to help?

Also would this now guarantee that content would not be taken and used by the media?
The Sun, Daily Mail etc?

Fuck me. Really?!? Please tell me someone was prosecuted for that.

As far as I remember it was all brushed neatly under the carpet. Although I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

@soontobe60 it's says fewer ads though not no adverts

t's not though it gets paid for adverts like Facebook, instagram etc
of course, but I meant free for the user/ members.

Definitely not. I've used it a lot over the years and spend a lot of time on relationships threads by the general tone since coronavirus is just so aggressive. I've just signed up for Disney plus too and that's a lot better value for money.

No. Mainly because I don’t trust them with my payment details. I don’t even trust them with my usual email address so I’m certainly not inputting anything on here with my financial info on it.

@MamaBearOnLockdown no reason to be free but reason to be very low cost

Also half the people on here are batshit. I'd be mad to pay to talk to them

^ This ^

Absolutely not. For the same price I can have access to everything ever made by Disney and Pixar - it's absurd that this costs the same.

I'm sure Reddit has a parenting board, and their "give us money" model is far superior.
