In 2 days my core membership is expiring. A year ago I would have probably paid the money for the upgrade but these days I'm not sure if it's worth it. DA just isn't what it used to be and although they've made improvements it's still feeling like a bit of a relic to me. Anyone else feeling this way? Should I renew? Curious to hear your thoughts.
