This is really frustrating. "venturedlife.com" links are now less trustworthy to me, because as far as I can tell, there is no direct route to the content that was supposed to be shared via link.

"Please use the password we sent to your email when you followed us and you will be able to access this episode." Cool. So I just sign up real quickly, and will have the password? Nope. No password sent. Just a confirmation email. Clicking through that confirmation, I'm able to access some content (not the content linked to here), but only the one about the Food Pantry in the Bronx. Which I'm sure is interesting, but isn't what I clicked through to read. And I'm still being urged to add my email, with a banner and "Sign up to read" button, unable to access any other content (none of which is about coliving in the bay, as far as I can tell).

Having watched the quick "about us" video: you're right, design matters. And the most important design is for the content (at least your free/viral content) to be available.

I'm also in this boat - as a former co-oper, I'm quite interested in reading about "Coliving in the Bay" - but I haven't been able to figure out how even after giving them an email address.

Thanks for pointing this out, we seem to have had a glitch with our automation. We have unlocked all the pages for the time being as we determine the problem and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
