Freemium Experience: More Features for All with Usage Limits

There were no limits pre-2022. Back then, Justin was complaining about lists with 100,000 items in them.

I’m guessing that you’re misinterpreting Justin’s post from May 2022, which shows 250 (for new members) crossed out.

The crossed-out numbers weren’t existing limits, they were new limits being proposed at the time. Many users complained that such limits were excessive, so the following compromise was reached:

VIP Members

  • Unlimited lists
  • 10,000 2,000 items on your watchlist
  • 10,000 2,000 items on a personal list

New Members

  • 5 personal lists
  • 1,000 250 items on your watchlist
  • 500 250 items on a personal list

Existing Members

  • 10 personal lists
  • 2,000 500 items on your watchlist
  • 1,000 500 items on a personal list

For long-time users such as myself, the watchlist limit has quite quickly dropped from theoretically infinite, to 2,000, to now just 100. I think saying that’s “a big drop” is a bit of an understatement.
