FWIW, it’s not me flagging posts either.

We don’t have to agree…because no matter how hard you try to battle your point, I will still defend my side of things.
If you are taking the time to watch 10-20 episodes of one singular show (binge watching) sure…you aren’t freeing up time to watch anything else. So, in this instance…you aren’t planning on watching those 3 movies any time soon. If you have room in your Watch List, by all means…place them in there. If you don’t, you have the option to create two custom/personal lists that you can add them to. Then when you know you will get to them, move them from the custom/personal lists into your Watch List.
I personally have over 150+ in my Watch List, but I am VIP so I have no limits. Most of what’s in my Watch List, though, are movies that won’t be released for several months…or maybe in not for a couple years. So what I should do, is make a custom list for just that kind of content…make sense?
Instead of trying to put people in your position to make them understand your side of things, you should try to put yourself in their position and understand their problem. This update doesn’t affect me much since I don’t have lists that go beyond 100 on Trakt but thats cause I maintain my watchlist on Google. And everytime I add 10 movies to my Google watchlist, 3-4 of them are left there forever. It quickly adds up if you only watch half of the things you add. For people who add TV shows too, by the time they finish one series, they could have added 20+movies while barely clearing 1-2 of them.
But the way you are saying to use favourites and personal lists as a secondary Watchlist, its kind of thoughtless to say so, I mean thats your fav list. And people could be using their personal list to have Spy movies, Superhero, Sci-Fi, etc. Whats the point of them if they are gonna turn into watchlist and whats the point of having 4 watchlist, if you won’t be able maintain any of them. Trying to maintain one watchlist can be tough enough. Watch/completion percentage will only decrease if you try to have more than one watchlist while also having higher FOMO. This is not a big problem for a TV guy, but its a huge problem for movie buffs and a even bigger problem for people who are primarily movie buffs but occasionally watch TV.

I don’t see how I am “battling,” and the fact that you see it that way tells me that you still do not understand our point. (I say “our” because multiple people in this thread have also explained why they have >100 items in their watchlist.) I am also unaware of any attacks that you need to “defend [your] side of things” from.
That said, @itiswhatitis also did a good job of explaining why a watchlist might have more than 100 items:
I would also add that watching a TV show with 10-20 episodes is hardly “binge-watching.” It takes me at least 10-20 days to watch that much TV. Hardly binging. But now you’d have me prioritize my TV watching in such a way as to remove things from my watchlist faster. Do you see that if I did that, I would be able to watch only movies, and, eventually, my watchlist would have only TV shows with lots of episodes since, obviously, many shows make more episodes every year. 
This seems like a good time to punt. Justin posted this five days ago and has since doubled down even after hearing everyone’s issues with the changes. I do not anticipate the new restrictions being eased. Fortunately, Showly works great even without Trakt backstopping it.
Best of luck to everyone who’s still on Trakt!

Meh…if you weren’t “battling” you wouldn’t feel the need to keep replying. I’m glad you are finally punting.
Also, that explanation by @itiswhatitis was pretty much the same thing you said (along with many others), so all I see it is…is just regurgitation. Y’all are just simply repeating yourselves because you are triggered.
Give VIP a try (surely you can afford $30 by asking) and you might actually like all the new features that comes with it…and you won’t have to worry about limits anymore.

Or maybe because we’re in a forum dedicated to a site we all use and we’re expressing out thoughts on a change.
It’s pretty funny seeing you say “triggered” since you jump in on so many threads even mildly critical of Trakt to push back. Only you get to be active on this forum and express your opinions I guess. Everyone else is triggered. Like come on give me a break.

You are right, everyone should get VIP who have issues and you should show that you stand behind Trakt by opting to pay for full $60. Even better, I think Trakt should make it $60 for existing VIP as well to show equality, I’m sure that would fix a lot of revenue issues while giving the existing VIP better chance to support them.
Certainly, they must already have a plan in place for this as they see how some of the VIP users are backing them so much while people who get monthly VIP(maybe 4-6times a year) only to support Trakt choose not as it makes no sense to occasionally get VIP anymore.

Maybe that’s one thing they can offer, for a limited time, offer the VIP to everyone for just $30/year (I don’t know what the monthly cost is)…or maybe even offer a 6 month plan for just $15 so people can spend less money to give VIP a try.

Everyone’s been saying that but trakt won’t budge with their overpriced $60 stance

Meh, if you pay enough attention, most of my posts are at least constructive by offering people ideas on how to try and work around the new limits. I’m not “telling” people what to do, merely offering up different ways to use what you got. I may come off abrasive to some of you younger folks though. But that’s just how I was raised…being straight forward and to the point. Sorry if that offends you.

Are you making assumptions how old ppl are now? This won’t go well with ppl. 
See you’re saying certain things right but then you make comments like that isn’t going to help the cause.

My man what? You absolutely tell people what to do all the time lmao. Right off the top of my head the TMDB thread you repeatedly were saying we need to stop talking about it here and submit support tickets on TMDB despite my repeated explanations of the problem.
Sorry if that offends you.
Get over yourself lol

I just don’t think everyone who’s responding to you and disagreeing with you is necessarily a “triggered snowflake”, “younger folk” or trying to battle you. For the most part it’s just healthy forum disagreement, and there’s no need to be defensive.

I was with you until this. Now it just seems like you’re trolling them. You know it’s $60 for them.

Read the rest of the replies…It was mostly a starting point suggesting that Trakt do some kind of temporary discount. I know the new fee is $60, but for many it’s grandfathered to $30, so why not ask and offer that amount for a limited time…??? Merely a suggestion.
