Question for "Craftsy Unlimited" Members
#11
The difference, to me, is that I still have access to the individually purchased classes years later. If I have a membership, my access expires when the membership does. And I wouldn't want to commit to having a membership longterm.
Software companies, like Microsoft, have also gone this route and I hate it. I'd much rather own my copy of Office than have to rent it, and I take that option whenever I can.

You would keep any classes that you purchased individually, but that's an additional expense to the membership fee. You don't own any classes as a result of your membership.

I thought the membership was $4.95 a month?? I must have misread.
I pay for monthly subscriptions to Netflix, satellite radio and also Pandora on my phone. But since I haven't fully utilized the few classes I have bought, I don't think it would make sense for me to join. I'm a doer more than a watcher, tho I have learned some valuable things from some classes, particularly Marti Michell's QAYG classes. It's fabulous.

Personally, I don't think it's worth the money. I have a lot of their videos I have never watched. They seemed good at the time but the few I did watch didn't really seem that good. They don't really go into the detail I wanted.

I haven't enrolled, as I don't have time to watch to justify the cost. If the unlimited classes is still around once my daughters are high school age, (I plan to homeschool) I might get it for them, to expose them to more hobbies and DIY than just quilting. But that's a long way off!

You don't have access to all the classes. There were enough classes that I wanted to watch that I got the membership for one year. I bought several classes before they offered the membership. By the end of the year I'll decide if I want to renew. It's kind of a personal thing.....depending on your interests.

Not that excited. I don’t have time to watch hours of classes either. I also find that the classes are in a giant list that takes time to sort thru. I don’t find the site easy to locate either. On top of that many of the “free” classes were free already or they’re for specific machines and software that I don’t own. I’ll look around during the trial but I’m not at all interested in a regular membership.

Thanks so much for your response. I thought I might like some of the baking classes. I was leaning toward it not being worth my investment because if you lapse in membership, you no longer have access to selected views. I'll keep cherry-picking my videos and going to youtube for other classes.
I appreciate everyone's input.
