1. You are saying that the knowledge and information available here should be worth the evil fee that some users have to pay. It is if you have spent a lot of time here and know what you are getting in return. A new user who just got here can't and shouldn't be asked to value that.

When I was in low rank, I had naive thoughts like projects that have their Announcement topics on the forum, and publish those topics from Copper Membership accounts are more trusted.

I felt like they afford to pay fee for Copper Membership so they are more serious with their projects here. I know they can buy accounts and run their scam projects a few months (I saw many scam projects participated in the forum like that). ANN threads were published by Hero or Senior members but they are bought accounts.

Later, I realized my thought is wrong.

And besides, the information is either free or it isn't. Even if you don't register, you can still read everything that is being written. You just can't participate in the discussions. So, you aren't really paying for the information. You are paying for the right to post.

You're partially right. Because to get information better, members should have be able to discuss. Like Question - Answer discussion that is more effective when you can ask more if you need.
