I've been a member on paid subscription sites. I hate it. It becomes very echo chamber like, and I feel it drives away those who could provide valuable information to the site, but are turned off by having to pay. This is even more true when a site already has paid sponsors.
I have no issues with a site like PY asking for donations. We're a small niche group of car guys, and we're damn lucky to have a site like this with so many knowledgable members, but having to pay a subscription would be a hard pass for me.
