This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A quick Google shows that they charged over thirties in the UK double for a premium account.

Devils advocate says that is because older people are more like to have money (people are probably getting a bit more desperate at that age too).

It looks like the policy is revoked tho.

We should charge people based on their ability to pay for food too!

We do it for taxes and in my opinion, it doesn't go far enough.

They still do that, and it's no secret.
