*Tell me if this is against the rules. I read them and I didn't think it really broke anything but I'll take the ban if it does*

I'm looking for some people who would be interested in splitting the cost of a 3-month subscription on mindcontrolcomics.com. They post really good stuff, but it's a little pricey for how little they update monthly. The renewal cost is $40 every 3 months and I don't think paying $13 a month is worth it.

If I can find at least 2 other people who are interested in splitting it, I'll pay for the initial cost out of pocket as a sign of sincerity then provide the login details to anyone willing to help fund the next renewal.

LMK if you're interested and we can get together to make this happen.

What I'm thinking is making a discord server and just keeping anyone still in the plan on the server. I'll make the server tonight after work and I'll pm anyone in this thread who's interested an invitation link.

So like, it may not be forbidden to discuss doing so here, but Daphne sure as heck forbids sharing account credentials in her <<mindcontrolcomics.com/info/mcc-faq|site policies>>. Do what you gotta do, but don't be toooo surprised if she bans an account that is exhibiting... indiscreet behavior.

I'm not here to pass judgement. I've lifted my fair share of content over the years too. Just know what you're getting into and please try not to hold any grudges if it implodes.

I mean, I think it's totally fair. Alot of subscription based services are against account sharing. My only issue with MCC is their price. (Especially since the two times I've subbed have literally been for a specific comic I have to pay the sub to see)

Wish they had a pay by issue thing.

I dunno - what you say is true, and I think it's fine to prevent people from like, publicly sharing accounts that non-paying customers can use. It's a little more questionable in my opinion to extend that "sharing ban" to people splitting an account between them, each paying a bit. Doubly so because we're not talking about some incredibly kosher business with strict policies here, it's a purveyor of fetish porn.

This is, of course, compounded by the predatory prices in question here. For a service that provides so little content per month, it's kind of an outrage that they require 30 bucks a month (!), or 50 for three, and are so insistent on not letting anything slip past their paywall (which is a fool's errand anyway, because this is the internet). At most, I think 10 bucks for this would be a reasonable price, and that's the upper-bound of "reasonable".

At the very least, they could have more flexible prices. A "shared price" option between several users could be cool, but it'd also be nice to have a "loyalty discount". Or a "pay for single issues", like you suggested.
