I joined Pinboard at a time when there was no recurring costs, just a small fee to join, for life. I think I paid $10 total, 12 or 15 years ago, and not a penny since. For that amount it's a pretty good deal.
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoI loved that earlier pricing model, where the cost increased with each sign-up. It may not have been sustainable in the long-term, but it was an interesting attempt to do something different.

- idlewords 2y agoIt was a single email, in 2022, and the wording was exceptionally friendly! (For those who don't know, the site moved to a subscription model in 2015 and I asked old-timers to consider converting their account voluntarily. Everyone who chose not to still has a lifetime membership to the site.)
