What's the alternative? To just not do it at all?
I don't think it's an either/or though. One important part of StoryWorth is that these stories are saved for future generations. For example, my paternal grandmother died before I was born, and I would love to be able to read her stories today.
Is this actually promised anywhere on the site? What happens if you stop paying the $49/year? What happens if they go out of business?
These stories are really important to people, so it's really important to me that people don't lose access to them.
