I like audio on an I phone I also like how when I read an article of interest you immediately show me similar articles in your library that could be of interest to me and is related Very important Please make sign in as easy as possible Yes content may be stolen by bad people BUT!!! A difficult sign in also means content is stolen from many more paying subscription holders Their time is very important. Endless hassles to your subscription holders means they STOP putting up with your worries about theft of content I am increasingly just going to my 20 dollar a month AI account. As no endless sign in hassles. No asking me the password for my grandmother’s sewing bee. AI has instant Access and gives science answers not with a 5000 word essay but an answer to my science questions in a few hundred words. You are not competing with content thieves You are competing with an AI account that never asks for passwords and responds succintly
