Hi All,
As the landscape of publishing changes, we’re looking at new experiences to offer our audience. We’ve been brainstorming internally about what an optional subscription service would look like and what benefits it would offer if we had one. We’d love to know what types of benefits you’d like to see that might motivate you to subscribe.
Three things I want to make clear:
What else would you like to see and, among the exclusive content, what topics do you like best?
MattK edit: This is optional subscription would be for our editorial site and not impact anyone's ability to sign up or make posts here.

Three things I want to make clear:
- This is just in the ideation stage right now
- The intention is not to put up a paywall on the kinds of content and experience we provide today. Providing helpful forums, trustworthy reviews, breaking news, useful tutorials, and insightful features for free will continue to be our main focus. The goal is to offer additional, exclusive benefits to subscribers.
- There is no planned subscription plan specifically for the forums.
- Exclusive stories with more of an insider / industry focus
- Special newsletters with exclusive content
- Ad-free or ad-limited experience
- Exclusive coupon codes and discounts
- Percentage cash back (like Rakuten) on products clicked from our site
- Special placement / flair for article comments
- TH Merch (hat, t-shirt)
