Something else to keep in mind. In addition to their ad revenue, they make money on your and everyone else's data that it sent to them by selling to whoever they want to, for a profit, and we PWS owners have no say about it, nor are compensated for it, despite our substantial investment. If all 200,000+ PWS Owners pulled their stations and subsequent data, it would get their attention, I would assure you.

We are compensated for it John. My self I don't have a website but I get to view my data online and via an app.
I understand everyone's frustration with WU but it's only WU in name. It's all coming from the parent company.
SOME are still "compensated". And I respect folks who are. However, those who invested in Blogs, Photos, Cameras, Radio Feeds, e.g. . have been ripped off, fingered, raped, and basically told to 'shove it'. Sadly, I suspect those still "compensated" will be in a similar category sometime soon..
but the PWS pages will be next... it's cheaper for them to scrape Mesowest, etc ... Just a matter of time...
Now, some folks didn't really believe some of us when we were strongly suggesting that Radio and Webcams were going to be dropped,
and I truly hope I'm wrong, but with all respect, folks need to look for something else ... It may be awhile, but they're going to utilize as
little overhead as possible, and that 'convenience' is massive overhead.
