My username may be yellow but hear me out. The case for financial justification was already made by others that indeed it pays for itself because of signature, review copies and WTB/WTS section access. But I believe many disregards those reasons and think that they’ll finally learn some edge-giving secret in those unindexed sections of site that will magically make them profitable. If you struggle as a standard member, you’ll continue to struggle at higher tiers as well. Why would you expect to pay $100 to learn a “guaranteed” way of turning those $100 bucks into 10x, 100x,1000x? Well, you wouldn’t and you won’t. You may ask me: “How can you make those claims when you are not even Jr. VIP member?" Life experience and common sense.
P.S.: I wish admins would add more payment methods, especially crypto.
