The price, my email address, is too high relative to the value the site provides...which is at this point consists solely of demanding an email address.
When the first priority of a site is to collect my email, usually I'll have spam to manage for anywhere from a few weeks to many years. Whatever reason I have for visiting a site, it's pretty much never because I want to receive emails from it.
[generically] Email harvesting is a red flag for me. Watching the video before signing up, doesn't change that. It just means investing more time in a site that doesn't prioritize on it's users.
Some bars are worth paying a cover charge. Most aren't.
