i dont understand.. they say " as you see OS has no adds, help us keep that way" and then "by becoming a premium member you get OS without adds" .. or maybe i read it wrong.
i think most of the people here trying to learn are students.. so...

hba · Answer

There are adds on but if you become a premium member you get a lot of benefits and it is only 10 $ for 1 month so i would recommend you to support OS :)

Well,It's never late to support them :)

Maybe sometime late :D

Just having a good intention about helping OS is something positive :)
