Just checked. Yup. Worth $7/year to have access on my phone. A little douchey. But hey everything else is these days.

Pretty damned douchey is right. Whos gonna pay all these crazy dues to these various societies and also pay for the app etc. its getting ridiculous already. Im not paying it.

They haven’t learned. Just sell ads on the asra app. Make kt free. Annoy the heck out of docs with ads to get to the data they need.

Netflix (and Disney) has leaned it’s better to sell ads than go without advertising

It seems odd that I paid a one time fee thinking I’d have it permanently, now I’m expected to pay again? What the heck

Same, especially Netflix. Ludicrous.

I paid but am bothered by it, so I’ll submit the $7 for reimbursement.

Info on that is good but they REALLY REALLY need to tone down the f---ing red and yellow so that it doesn't sear your eyes when you open it up.

I think classmates dot com tried to charge people for access and they were way bigger than “thefacebook” even up to 2007. And we know the rest of the story

Advertising works to generate revenue

Right exactly. You’d think they would have grandfathered people in.

Subscriptions models are a scam for most of the general public. But it’s been taught the last 10 plus years to bring steady stream of revenue to businesses.

Like Microsoft office stand alone products. Their biggest competitor was themselves. Their previous version. Frankly there is very little difference in office from year to year.

So Microsoft moved to office 365 subscription models.

I asked Gemini "According to the most recent ASRA guidelines, how long do I need to wait to place an epidural after a patient receives 40mg of lovenox?"

It gave me a solid and totally correct answer with nuance included. Just a consideration.

Also I emailed ASRA about my annoyance and asked for my money back, as my paid for app was no longer functional. They offered me a year free. I'll never subscribe though.

AI and double-checking its answer seems to be a solid future option.
