It was worth it when the Journal was printed and mailed. I'm not yet 65 and I won't have had 25 years of membership until I'm 75 so for me that's not an incentive. As I make my living in audio I figured joining the AES was a way of supporting my industry but now I'm not seeing it when the one thing AES does that would directly benefit me, I cannot participate in.
I am over 70 and probably check the 25 years box too, but meh... I didn't have time to read them when I was still a paying member. I actually paid to ship several decades of mine to somebody who said he would read them (made me feel a little better).
I am still disappointed about their less than enthusiastic response to my request for a proper definition of Q in peaking EQ... I ran out of energy to keep rolling that rock up the hill.
But at this point, I punt, somebody else's problem.
Tag you're it (not you, but ya'll)...
