NZF got lobbied, calling it now.

I'd say more than lobbied, I wouldn't be surprised if there's been some hefty donations behind the scenes.

Certainly possible. They like their corruption.

You mean bribed right?

Ive been reading consumer nz and they have so much good shit but its locked behind an insane $15 a month paywall. What a waste of a great resource

I pay them. It's worth is in my opinion. Somebody has to pay their salaries and they are the only group that routinely sticks up for consumers.

Ugh I want to but its to much. I hardly even buy enough things to justify it. I think they should do a pay what you can model with a min price of $5.

It would be better if it cost less but I guess it's a chicken and egg problem. If more people joined they could probably lower the price a bit. If they drop it to $5 and not get three times as many subscribers they will be losing revenue.

There's a lot of services like that, that are totally out of touch with what customers are willing to pay.

Strava want almost a hundred dollars per year, for example. Ludicrous.
