What do you guys think of the site?
Have not had time to really look at it. Saw the subscription deal (not yet available, far as I can see) and wouldn't go there. The "points" thing seems rather juvenile, and I had not thought of that increasing trolls, but you are right.
It's new, however, so I wouldn't expect much content yet, free or otherwise. They are actively soliciting articles now, so we'll see where this goes. I looked at some of the health articles. Typical for this sort of publication, but nothing not available in lots of other places on the web and in books.
No real indication of how the articles will be vetted, if at all, so it may be "buyer beware" pretty much. The one herbal article I read had footnotes, but they were not hyperlinked. Most people would not bother to search for them.
If you leave a comment, be aware of the very sneaky pre checked box that "requests" an email alert to new articles, offers, etc. I already had an email from them the next time I checked incoming mail. I just HATE that kind of thing, but unsubscribing was easy.
I don't have any problem whatsoever with someone who wants to put up a site like this and make some money. Just needs to be up front about it and not play games. I don't like playing games...
