    *Decades worth of content free website with tons of features, also tries to make a living using standard ad practices for the premium product.

    Sorry… bootlicker I guess. I’ve gotten thousands of hours of joy from that site. I’m still using tabs from half a lifetime ago. The mobile app is fantastic too. I’ve supported them when I’ve had the cash. A lot cheaper than lessons would have been for 30 years.

      Why does any of the value they’ve brought to you and others preclude a shitty and predatory business decision? I’ve had their pro membership for years, but the fake youtube video is some premium, grade A dogshit.

      I’ve been a subscriber for years and think it’s very much worth it. They keep improving on the site with new features regularly. I also take lessons. My musical tastes are a little out of the norm and teacher is older so most of what I want to learn is new to him. Printing up tabs ahead of time saves him the trouble of tabbing out the song while I just sit there. More time is spent learning. Yeah they’re not all 100% correct but it’s usually close enough to save time

      You can like the product, or at least the product of the past, while also acknowledging that the business practices they engage in today are shit, consumer-unfriendly, and that the actual content hasn’t kept up with the rate they’ve decided to ‘monetize’ their site. There is no dichotomy, both can be true. So yeah, how’s that boot?
