Why is premium content categorised as 'subscriber'?

Pretty much what the title says, everywhere premium content is labeled as "premium" somehow, yet in the Videos dropdown it is labelled as "subscriber". Why hasn't this inconsistency been changed after so long?

Giant Bomb is constantly growing and expanding as a site, and as you may have noticed, constantly on a state of practically exploding and breaking all over the place.

In other words, they used to use the word subscriber a lot more often back in the Whiskey Media days, and with everything else going on, no one thought to change it, because it's not a high priority thing. At least that's my assumption, I don't really know.

yea what moosey said. the term premium is a "new" thing. it was subscriber for quite a while.

i think we should go back to subscriber. premium sounds more buzz wordy. subscriber sounds more professional....just like giant bomb.

@mooseymcman: I imagined something along those lines, yeah. Just thought I'd point it out

Premium content for subscribers. That's the best way to think about it, I guess. I too was confused/annoyed at the constant interchangeable use of the word.

I like subscriber better.

They usually call subscribers "premium members" though.

I do too, for no particular reason.

This is how I always looked at it. It's never really bothered me.

To confuse and confound you.
