In contrast, member streams are the absolute fucking most dishonest type of monetization. You don't even know what you're getting or whether it'll be worth it. That kind of "pay now, see what you get later" model is what's truly scummy. Products and prices should be clearly stated and advertised so that consumers can make informed choices.
