This could be things that once were commercialized but are now public domain, or have largely resisted commercialization to this day. In this context I mean this as aiming for profit and being sold/monetized.

I know, I solely use CGEO. It's awesome. I've even logged one premium cache just for the hell of it. It's just good to mention to people that there's this premium thing since people bump into it anyway.

Heck, yeah. The only issu is c:geo is not the friendliest of apps. I have used it for several years and I'm still ignoring some features because of the level of effort they take to understand.

Your original comment made it sound like there is no alternative for accessing those premium chaches though

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You can go around it but it's annoying and not really intended for anyone but premium subscribers.

Premium-only caches: Find geocaches designated for Premium members only.

Premium-only caches offer VIP access to thousands of additional geocaches all around the world. Cache owners decide if their geocache pages can be seen by all members or only by Premium members.

Dunno why some decide to set them premium only

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't Geocaching also set caches over a certain size or difficulty level to premium, regardless of the cache owners selection?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

From what I gathered is that some caches over a certain difficulty are set as "advanced caches" and don't show up in the official website or app to people without premium.
