There are ways to get attending memberships for Worldcons relatively cheaply. I've done that a few times now, presupport the bid, vote in site selection, and then convert right away. But life gets in the way, and it's hella expensive to buy a membership later on.

I can't speak for how the rest of the Worldcon went as a virtual experience, because I was only a supporting member, but I send #hugops to the folks doing the technical side of the house. I have only my experience helping to pull WisConline off this year virtually with no real budget and only just over two months notice to shift to online when everything went to hell in a handbasket with the pandemic. Because WisCon is the con of my heart, I didn't have a problem paying more than the default price for a virtual experience. Despite problems, I think we managed to pull it off well enough, and I'm hoping that we integrate more virtual stuff to make WisCon accessible for folks who can't travel.
