It is broken.
Confirmed by test, stalled on the 71st ply.
Stuff breaks. It does not break for one group while functioning perfectly well for others, and when staff goes to fix it they are not going to program a bunch of extra code to make it work for only paying members. It's callous and stupid to say "well at least make it work for the paying people!!" because that service is either working for everyone or for no one.
