haven't done this in a while but i'm gonna plug cohost Plus! again real quick.

if you're enjoying cohost and can afford $5 per month or $50 per year, please consider subscribing to cohost Plus! it's our only source of revenue, and we've gained a lot of new users over the past month, which means we've gained a lot of new costs. subscribing to cohost Plus! helps us get closer to financial sustainability.

you can subscribe on your settings page, or via this link: https://cohost.org/rc/user/settings#cohost-plus

thanks for using cohost! :eggbug:

#cohost Plus!

Always go with the company who is upfront about charging you over the one who claims to be free, because those companies are Lying To You.

Also @jkap seems real cool just saying.

I agree. Unfortunately I have no money

selenotrope @selenotrope12/18/2022, 9:38 PM

potential subscribers should note that the elephant sites seem to be melting down at the moment but cohost is trucking along just fine and always seems to work. five dollars!

Tawnus @tawnuskgrevy12/18/2022, 10:24 PM

Done. I hope this site can grow and flourish and provide at least a small refuge for everyone fleeing the bird site, and everything I've seen so far from Cohost has been lovely. Looking forward to using it more and more each week.

I got laid off a few months ago, but there's a very solid chance I might be getting a new job sometime this week. the way you'll be able to tell is that within five minutes of receiving an offer I will become a cohost Plus! subscriber

Pendell @pendell12/18/2022, 10:56 PM

Reading this and pronouncing "costs" the same as "hosts" in my brain bc of the eggbug controlling my neurons

Cory W @coryw12/18/2022, 11:09 PM

coastal chost host cost moments

gabby @fullmoon12/18/2022, 11:17 PM

I'd appreciate it if there were a higher tier where we could donate even more a month. You don't even need to offer anything more in return for such a higher tier

jae @jkap12/18/2022, 11:41 PM

it remains insane to me that this is something people want but we are planning to do it

Vergil @Vergiliaux12/19/2022, 4:02 AM

I'll pay a higher subscription per month just to help keep the lights on. 👍🏽

LoganDark @LoganDark12/19/2022, 4:08 AM

have only one subscription but "pick your own price at $5 or above"

I wrote a book.@Ellipsismark12/24/2022, 7:21 AM

Just make multiple accounts.

Upthorn @upthorn12/18/2022, 11:17 PM

I'll probably make a yearly subscription at the start of next month. I'm on a fixed income and Christmas is taking quite a chunk out right now

Alex Froio @dukecarge12/18/2022, 11:33 PM

Will do so on my next paycheck.

Erys @chaoticevilspacewitch12/18/2022, 11:36 PM

My only suggestion would be to take willingness to buy a Plus subscription as a validation of an account and let new users jump the activation queue if they do that.

jae @jkap12/18/2022, 11:40 PM

we’ve considered this, but don’t want to lock earlier posting access behind a paywall

Lekon @Lekon12/19/2022, 12:40 AM

I kicked in for a year, after that last tantrum of the twit.

I'd rather chip in 50$ to nice folk than a cent to a douche.

Stefanie @stefistarlite12/19/2022, 2:47 AM

Subscribed earlier this evening! I appreciate the openness of the platform and want to see it grow~

@mojilove12/19/2022, 2:57 AM

done! thanks for running cohost! :eggbug:

effy @effy12/19/2022, 8:04 AM

let us gift cohost plus and I'd buy a bunch of people it for Christmas

Dogs, Et-Setter-Ra @Pupperpotamus12/20/2022, 5:39 PM

Just subbed for a year myself ^-^

I wrote a book.@Ellipsismark12/24/2022, 7:24 AM

What one gain from cohost plus?

Mind, I'm already going the "so good I'll just pay for it" route, but I still want a better understanding of the benefits.

It occurred to me that I could give some money now and then get the year at a more convenient time in a few months, rather than waiting a few months to get the year and doing nothing now. $5/mo is definitely way down in my noise floor.
