↩️ Free Users Redirect to V3

Throwing in my two cents. I set up my Trakt account years and years ago but fell off using it. Last year I was looking to solve the media tracking problem once again and came back to discover just how cool Trakt had become. It supported just about anything I could want to do in a nice logical way. The ability to sync with streaming services was enough to convince me to become a paying member. I raved about it so much that my dad joined as well. Now he’s asking me what happened to the website. I told him he could revert to V2 but then found out that because he’s a free user that’s not an option.

As a new user, he is not a fan of the new flow at all and is already looking for a replacement. He’d rather go back to his manual spreadsheets and I can’t blame him. I really can’t believe Trakt is going to the “everything’s a horizontal list where you can only see three things at a time” model. It’s ugly, hard to scan visually, and is fixing things that weren’t broken. I’d rather have the option to use V2, forever frozen in time and features, then ever move to V3.
