While I can for sure appreciate the Scribd service, charging for 24 hour access to "archives" is just silly. It reminds me of Rapidshare, which isn't exactly a brand to live up to.
On the other hand. So does the website that posted the article and requires a login to read the follow-up.
I like that someone called Scribed out and they fixed the situation.
- Confusion 16y agoExcept that they didn't really fix anything, because almost no one knows Scribd distributes their content and hence hardly anyone will enable that setting.
- jules 16y agoWhat exactly do you like about Scribd? Every experience I had with is has been negative. Their reader sucks and to download a pdf you have to register. When somebody posts a link to Scribd I always end up searching for another place on the internet that has it. I don't see any value Scribd provides.
- Judson 16y agoI never said I "liked" the scribd service, only that I could appreciate what they are doing, not necessarily the monetization.
- joshwa 16y agoThe charges only applied to downloading the documents, not viewing them in their HTML5 or FlashPaper viewer.
