When did dA change that silly line on a profile's Recent Activity button to read 'Needs Premium Membership'? What was wrong with 'No Subscription'? Now everyone without one seems like some needy hobo unprepared to pay for their own subscription and waiting for a random stranger to come along and donate one D:

Not only that but I know some people who actively do NOT want a subscription because they don't want to financially support the site in any way, shape or form.

Duuurrrrr, deviantArse.

In Ebon Spire news, I'm now inking my 20, TWENTY PAGE epic for Round 2 plus a possible epilogue page. I actively tried to make this round shorter so I could colour it all so HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. The intro pages may be full colour but the rest will probably be minimally rendered. I keep thinking we have more time than we actually do and forget we had an extension last time >_>

I saw this too. It is unholy ._.

I don't need noth'n
:iconelliwiny:
Man, I know what you mean. :iconwthplz:
Every time they do something pushy like this, it makes me want a subscription even less. >B(
:iconrayfan:
Yeah, I have a subscription and I find all that propaganda really tiresome.

Though I don't understand the mentality of somebody even being on DA if they hate it so adamantly they "don't want to financially support it in any way." I mean, it's okay not to have a subscription but why get so self-righteous about it?

This signature has recovered from a serious error.
:iconcoffeesinclair:
Maybe they'll trick the people who are to proud to come across as hobos and buy a subscription out of shame?

Me, I'm fine appearing as an internet hobo.
:iconstalkedbydragons:
Yeah, I noticed that too and hate it. I don't need one, and I'm sure everyone else without a subscription doesn't either. lD

I am very, VERY much looking forward to this 20 page epic. <3

If the world didn't suck,
we'd all fall off.
:iconhaius:
Since when did they start calling it a "premium membership" instead of a plain old "subscription", too? Stupid manipulative marketing nonsense, it is.

I saw your mom last night...
:icontheneongryphon:
I don't like that they also have me listed as a "premium" member, and who gave me the subby. Isn't that just going to encourage people to go off begging?
