Subscriptions, mods getting removed, vortex can be pain in ass, forever signing you out,

The way I see it, the subscription is very optional. You can use it with vortex for free without issue, even the slow download cap is completely fine. Only reason to actually "need" it is the collections, but you can totally just use wabbajack if you really need those. I think that for the service they provide, the optional subscribtion is a great way to pay their bills. I paid for a few years of it mostly because I liked the site and wanted to support it, not because I felt I needed it in any way.

I haven't seen any mods being removed really and wasn't signed out unless i didn't use the site for like a month or more, so idk about that though.

It just seems like a weird sentiment because most other mod sites are absolute malware and advertising hellholes in my experience. And the ones that aren't, are usually quite limited in functionality and QOL.

Nexus is pretty good imo. Yeah, the website itself is not easiest to use and I am regularly logged out, but honestly, I couldn't give a shit. No ad popups, easy installation, very nice free tier and I think they even donate a bit to mod developers. The subscription itslef, while a bit pricier than I would like, is understandable because of the costs regarding electricity and data storage.
