I'm confused why you're confused? You've never made an account and then not used it? Maybe they were interested in other products on dnd beyond. I assume you failed to notice their very low post count...
Oh I noticed, and maybe you're right, but my point still stands as a possibility; just because somebody doesn't post doesn't mean they are not actively perusing the site and seeing the news, or playing 5th Edition for that matter.
Not to invalidate your comment, but my second point isn't to do with how regularly people are buying stuff - it's more to do with how someone can miss news about site changes if they've been a member for a long time.
Removing a la cart purchasing is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen a company do....
I can't speak to what other people are buying and how regularly, BUT my earlier comment proves that WizBro believes that dumping A La Carte was a great business move. Frustrating? Yes. Angering? Yes. Bad for consumer choice? Heck yes.
Profitable? At the end of the day, WizBro will only view decisions that don't make them money as the 'dumbest thing', not what is best for us consumers. Corporations gonna' corp.
Have the Physical Books? Confused as to why you're not allowed to redeem them for free on D&D Beyond? Questions answered here at the Hardcover Books, D&D Beyond and You FAQ
Looking to add mouse-over triggered tooltips to such things like magic items, monsters or combat actions? Then dash over to the How to Add Tooltips thread.
It's been over a year since my last comment and I am proud to say I have not spent a dime on this site and I never will again. At this point I don't hold out much hope for a la carte purchasing to become an option again but I want D&D Beyond and Wizards of the Coast to know definitively that they could have had my money and now they aren't going to get to.

I've also wanted to purchase bits of a book many, many times over the past year and have just decided to go without.
