I agree with some of your suggestions, I originally wanted to "go premium" I decided to sit back & watch the fallout, see how this system operates & then make a decision.
Truth be told I think that the quite a lot of the "free" crowd seem to be whining scroungers, however I do agree with some of your suggestions... A monthly subscription fee is by far my favourite & what I thought "going premium" ( that term is soooo amusingly pretentious) was going to be, not this "candy crush stone buyer's habit forming addict maker" that is premium.
I believe you complained that they should do proper marketing & research of their target demographic... They have, the results are being used as we speak & I find it quite brilliant. You'll spend, run out, have that cliff itch & spend more, run out & repeat for as many premium novels are in your library.
We live in a time where forming habits is easy... You are being farmed.
Well done Q a round of applause, I think I'll use this as study.
