albatross... (Hong Kong)

Why oh why is it that I recently join Internations, enjoy what it has to offer but now the 'service' is being effectively reduced unless I pay money? There are plenty of successful websites that are run well with advertising paying the costs and they can offer a free service. Exchange of information is only becoming freer and freer online with the winners emerging as most competitive because they understand this concept. Internations will not seem the most viable option when a competitor comes along that is free!!
(Also, in terms of payment, I choose to not use credit cards because I oppose so much about credit systems scurrilous activity and accountability)
I can't wait for the abuse I will get for writing this but i feel quite strongly about it!!
