Just signed up. I could search for topics but not join as it says I'm number 60K+ in the waiting list and need to pay. First impression it looks like Reddit. I'm very skeptical people will pay $100/year for this. Reporting the number of members is pretty useless since I'm pretty sure they are not talking about paying ones.

What are the payment options?

Bitcoin maybe?

From what I saw, they're accepting cards and PayPal.

Thanks. What I figured.

People who use Bitcoin would be too iffy for them.

Looks like Credit card and PayPal only.

Definitely not Bitcoin. I've given Bitcoin to Wikipedia in the past (using the same email address). When I try to pay for a WT Social subscription with a credit card, I get a bit scary error message:

Card Input Error(s):

You cannot combine currencies on a single customer. This customer has had a subscription, coupon, or invoice item with a different currency.

WTF?

Don't some people have credit cards from different countries? Legally, I mean.
