SVBTLE — New paid accounts and redesigned blogs and dashboards

Honestly, I don't see any killer features that justify the paid account. I was using subtle because of the straightforward blogging experience, also because allowed me to use a custom domain for free. Paying 6$ just for a custom domain doesn't justify the expense, I'll switch to Ghost if I have to pay, better editor, better blogging experience, better customer support.

Early members don't have to pay to blog. But to switch your domain and allow subscribers, you have to update to a paid account, which is $6/month. All new members have to pay.
