Why on earth do they have a monthly subscription on something people maybe use once every 1 or two years?
Who is actually going to pay a netflix sub to see marginally bad data that often?
Like Netflix I understand if you cannot help yourself.
But is there a band of computer nerds out there, that I don't know about, that want play by play updates on how a graphics card is preforming compared to others? On a monthly basis?

Being a number nerd, I can see the appeal for something like this (extremely bad quality of data aside), or at least I do frequently visit OpenBenchmarkin.org (similar concept than UserBenchmark, but open source).
I also know 1 person who is obsseded with constantly buying/selling parts for their PC, and for whatever reason still uses UB after I told them how shit it is.
My guess is that this will also resonate with some Intel fanboys.
All of this is more of an exception to the rule, but they need just a few bunch of people subscribing to generate more profit than before.
