Lets see, if you interact in a Discord community and have nothing to do with this one you're not part of this community now are you? If you don't interact in any meaningful way with a franchise you're not part of the community as a whole you're a member of a friend group. If you want to affect change in something you can't just tell your friend that they should do X or Y, it's not going to get back to anybody that has any clout id est the actual community.
You can be a fan of something, but that doesn't make you part of the community. If I like a something, but I simply buy it and interact with nobody else how on Earth can you claim to be a member of the community associated with that something.
Nobody is forcing you to donate to this site, but if you just sign up you either have to accept that you don't have access to everything and that has to be okay or you can leave. Complaining that they locked content away because you don't want to engage you're not contributing to the site in the least. It'd be like showing up to a party eating the food there and leaving without talking to anybody. You're not contributing to the party you're merely taking what's on offer and giving nothing back. Interactions give ad revenue at the very least, but if you're not even interacting with the content you're just a leech.
You want something for nothing because you feel entitled to that something and that's the real reason it's "frustrating" because it's minimal effort to get to get the meager LC required to access the Members+ section, so you're right I have absolutely zero symapthy for anybody who views accessing members+ as some Herculean Labor because it's not especially when threads like this exist that are spam in all but name and still contribute points. 450 coins on discount which isn't even the lowest the discount has gone is 90 posts without any reaction score whatsoever and people pass out reaction scores like white panel vans pass out free candy so realistically it's far far less, but if you can't even muster that much effort for something you're so "frustrated" about it must not be that important to you and nobody is forcing you to achieve it so the fact that you don't feel "super motivated" isn't everybody else's problem. 370 LC in my wallet right now has all been from today since my last deposit and claim of interest in the bank, it's not that hard.
