I am truly disappointed with Whiskey Media

I am sorry. I just have to say it. But I am disappointed with Whiskey Media. 
 
You see, I used to be a believer of WM. I used to think they're an icon for being so indie. You don't see any ads back then. You see honest reviews (except for the COD MW2 review, which I still don't quite see how it deserves a 5/5).
Now they have ads on the sites, which is something I don't really mind. After all, running a company costs money, running servers costs money. I understand that. This isn't the reason why I lost my respect to WM.
Hell I was rooting for them to start some sort of premium membership plan (which they did). 
 
But one thing I will never condone with is having to pay to enjoy content from a hobby site. Never. They did just that - by making you pay in order to watch the Big Live Live Show Live. Yea, I know, you have to pay for Internet porn. But that is different. You pay for their merchandise. Kind of like buying DVDs from HMV. You pay and you get the product. However, I don't approve of having the need to pay in order to enjoy exclusive content on a site making money off its visitors.
 
No, I'm not saying WM is doing anything wrong. They have the rights to do whatever they want with the videos. I am merely saying that I don't approve of what they're doing now.  
 
By paying a certain amount of money for a premium membership, of course you deserve something special. Maybe some special features in your profile for you to show off, some sort of discount at a video game store or even exclusive access to certain events. I don't care.  But in terms of content, free members and paid members should be enjoying the same amount. 
  
I am expecting some of ya'll to humiliate me or make fun of me for having such a thought, but I guess that's just me. I know this is not going to end well. But I just have to say it.
 
And one last thing, I would have actually subscribed for a paid membership. Now that I've lost all my respect to WM, I guess I can spend the cash on something else.
