"The Menu Stealer!"   Definitely one of my favorite channels at this point! I hope it won't be going extinct for a while. It is of great quality, and of great help!

Posted on: Changes on ChinesePod

The people here at Praxis Language/ Chinese Pod obviously have to generate some revenue to keep up their good service. Nothing in the business world comes free these days, and they have provided many free service before this change already.

I don't know if it is ethically, or legally okay.... so take this next suggestion with a grain of salt.

I am wondering if a native chinese/ very advanced subscriber is able to prove his credentials, (totally fluent in Chinese) if he/she might still be given the prior benefits... These people obviously will not pay if they already know the language well. But their contributions in the 'comments' section is pretty much indispersable. Maybe you can send out a resume form or something to see if they qualify. I am not speaking for myself, not wanting to get it free; I would not qualify on the terms I mentioned anyhow.

Anyways, a tough call.  As for me, I was happy to upgrade and pay a bit. You guys deserve it, and probably even need it to continue on. Keep up your good work.

There are two sides to the story:

If you can't afford 5 bucks a month for a basic subscription, then maybe you should worry about something more than learning Chinese. 

However, if native Chinese and advanced learners cannot listen/comment/correct without paying, then that is obviously a real disadvantage for the Pod. I would not blame them.
