I decided to stop my vocal + membership while I explored Medium. With the exchange rate, it was costing me over $13/month. As soon as I changed to a non-paying member, a clickable link appeared, inviting me to upgrade for $4.99/month for 3 months. Why did I have to leave to get a better deal? I loathe it when businesses employ this tactic. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
