About a year ago, I actually joined the WELL---it still exists, and I was curious about what it looked like.
Sadly, it turns out that it's largely moribund. There was barely anyone on there, and nothing interesting was happening.
They were more than happy, however, to take my money for the $15/month subscription fee. So happy, in fact, that they ignored my multiple emails trying to cancel. And nobody answered the phone. Ultimately, I had to contact my credit card company to block the charges.
- tacostakohashi 8y agoThankyou for that piece of anecdata. I was thinking seriously about joining a few months ago, because I think a "social network" / forum that caters to its paying users instead of advertisers, and has a membership fee and something less than 100% anonymity to keep the riffraff away is a nice idea. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be a practical business model.
- stallmanite 8y agoThat sucks, thanks for taking one for the team to find out. I had considered doing something similar as I had read so many legends which touch on the well in some way or another.
- yarrel 8y agoWeird. I had no problems cancelling earlier this year.
