“If this service is providing you with great quality features that you use on a daily basis, why not pay for it?”
Happy to, if it’s a reasonable price. $60 is unreasonable - hence why people are unhappy. Also to point out, VIP already had a bunch of great features, there was really no need to lock more behind VIP than there already was. It has only served to alienate free users who may have bought VIP in the future.
