It's just that over the course of time and some rough spots she elevated my mood when I needed it. That and I also donate. My big donos are anonymous when I feel its good timing. I guess it's like paying it forward in a sense? I don't necessarily care about the whole "length of time" portion of being a member, since it's not accurate to me anyways.
Most of the media I pirate anyways these days, so it pretty much replaced any streaming payments I was doing.
