I can’t speak to how it is in Canada, but I’ve found it worth it, even though the payment system is cryptic. The membership fee is $5.00 USD per month, or $50.00 USD per year, and I’m generally making between $30.00 and $50.00 per month. It was a bit less at the outset but still more than I’m paying for membership. There isn’t really a downside. It’s just frustrating that the payment system isn’t more transparent.
