Is this becoming a pay site?

About a month ago 25% of these forum posts said "subscriber exclusive content" 2 weeks ago that percentage had rose to 50%, today we're at about 75%. So, I'm wondering - Is this becoming a pay site?  

None of the forum posts should be subscriber exclusive but I'm keeping some of the blog posts as subscriber exclusive for a while 3-5 days or so as a bonus for the site supporters. There are currently 490 blogs posted on the site and six of them are set to subscribers only. Unfortunately the plugin I use doesn't let me set it to 3 days for all blogs I have to manually go in and do it every few days. I started a discussion about it here.

Anyway I spent a ton of money and time on the site within the last month because of the changes, it is MUCH faster and I've shifted from posting one or two times a week to daily. In fact, I've posted daily for the past two months, haven't taken a single day off. 

For those that choose to support the site and my efforts, a huge thank you. For those who aren't able to yet, I fully understand and I also appreciate having you as a part of this amazing community. Maybe click an ad banner from time to time to show the love. 

Here is the discussion about premium blogs:

I'd be happy to answer any questions or any feedback that you might have.

OK - Blog posts then. I was just wondering.

We all appreciate the hard work you been putting into the site. Please don’t get burned out. Take a day or two off let ideas simmer in that fantastic brain of yours. Please set a couple of days off a week. We don’t want you get burned out. 

• I had tried several times to initiate support, but unfortunately my credit card cannot be charged by gumroad

@diplomat I had someone in Germany say the same thing due to his card being a prepaid visa and he sent me a gift card instead. Shoot me an email or private message me and we can come up with something else if you would like. He is the reason I was able to add the translation option! (bottom right corner of the site on desktop).

@evolvingyourman Betreff: Re: You have been mentioned in forum post
Hi,

I think the blog is great, it is helpful for my mistress. How can I realize a different kind of support? Best regards

Love the site and totally understand why you have done what you have done. I myself just make sure to click on the ads a few times every time I am here in the hopes that is generating you meaningful revenue. 

I will just point out that there are several posts from 17-20 Nov that are still locked. If this is meant to be then no worries. If you just forgot to unlock them then I just wanted to draw your attention 🙂

Hope you and Kev had a great thanksgiving! 

@j-s Good catch, I missed those. It's annoying that I can't see the ones that are currently restricted. I'd be very grateful if you can thumbs up my comment here on this site for the member plugin that I am using. I un-restricted the blogs you mentioned, let me know if other pop up, they most likely will because it is a manual process to un-protect them.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving also and I appreciate the ad-clicks! Every little bit helps keep the lights on over here in the EvolvingYourMan palace. Also I got some super cute red boots Black Friday shopping yesterday so it will help with those too. 🤣

I hate to always be a complainer because I really do love the site but it looks like everything back to 30 Nov is still locked for us freeloaders.

I hope you Kev, and Erik have great holidays! 

Complainers be complaining!

Just joking of course. I understand and appreciate that not everyone is able to support the site. I have been able to come up with some other ideas if gumroad is the problem for some reason, just let me know. Anyway I sure wish there was an automatic way for it to limit it to a few days. If anyone wants to thumbs up my comment here, I would certainly appreciate it.
