pulsd 18 minutes agoI used to love pulsd. I follow them on Twitter, and used to visit their website often. They post amazing deals on free and cheap stuff (like the ones above) happening in the city (either NYC or SF). However, recently, they changed the way users access their sites. You now must either create an account with your email address, or connect with FB. There are *no* other options. You simply cannot access the site otherwise.
If you choose to sign up with email (as I did initially), you also have no choice about receiving the daily email. So, signing up basically says, “Yes, please send me your spam.”
Dear Pulsd,
It is the 21st century. Your users are media-savvy and want options. Please give me choices as to how to access your site without having to give you my contact information. I am afraid without these choices, I will not access your site at all, as I do not like being forced into decisions. There are other places online I can find the deals, just so you know.
Sincerely,
A once-upon-a-time fan, now very annoyed.
