Creator here. I initially built this as a challenge to myself to make a better signup form. The purpose was to simplify email collection: placing a signup form in an article should be as easy as placing an image. Conversely, subscribing should be as easy as a swipe. I wanted something that looked cool, without being flashy, and also adaptable to different types of websites. This is what came out of it.
A couple of things that you might find pretty cool:
- Everyone gets a subscribe.to/brandname URL
- Works natively on Medium: just type https://subscribe.to/me and press Enter
I guess it depends on the primary purpose of the entity. It doesn't matter if Affligem (or any other business) was created by monks, atheists or space aliens. It's still a brewery. Of course, you could argue that all religious organizations are businesses, but for all intents and purposes we do not include them in these kinds of analyses, lest everything becomes a business and the analyses become meaningless.
I had the same thing happen to me with the same domain - twice. It just disappeared from Cloudflare without any notice. I run multiple domains on the same CF account, yet this has only happened with that specific one, which uses a somewhat unusual TLD (.do).
Maybe, instead of either just declaring what is the "right" way or observing users like some kind of behavioural scientist, we could just go back to, I don't know, asking them.
