The 100 items limit for me, together with a VIP so expensive, it’s a no.
I have 950 items in my watchlist (stuff I want to see sometime).
I already synced everything on SIMLK, after so many years, I’ll be leaving Trakt for another platform.
I hope you reconsider this change.
Regardless, thank you for everything. You’ve been great, until now.

I’ve been using Trakt with Kodi since 2012….but only to sync my shows, movies and resume points. I have zero interest in anything else with Trakt. For me to now spend US$60 (~AU$100) just to do the bare minimum mentioned above is absolutely ludicrous.
I had no idea these restrictions were even happening until I logged into Trakt tonight to see if there was any indication as to why I couldn’t add any new shows to my Trakt Collection in Kodi. When I checked out all the changes and then saw how much VIP would cost - again, just to do the bare minimum I need - I was gobsmacked. I understand that things need to change over time and that these economic times are tough, but I was thinking that VIP might be around the US$30 point and I could possibly justify spending that. But US$60 is just taking the pi$$.
All I can say is “Sayonara, Trakt”….you were fantastic until you got crazy greedy. I’ve now exported all of my Trakt data and am looking at Simkl instead.
I’m genuinely blown away that Trakt thinks US$60 annually is reasonable. Just….wow.

This application initially provided excellent functionality for managing viewed and desired films and tv shows; however, the recent introduction of a paid subscription to increase list capacity is excessive. While reasonable subscription fees are acceptable, the annual cost of $60 (or $6 monthly), equivalent to R1112.83 (or R111.83 monthly) in South Africa, is considered excessive for the added functionality. Consequently, I will be transitioning to an alternative app.

Yep, it’s crazy. For Australians, US$60 is ~AU$100……online currency converters say AU$95.22 but the actual amount we’d end up paying would likely be between AU$99 and $102. Who the heck can justify paying that, especially if it’s only to sync lists/collections?!!

Now I have to move again
Damn!
Was there really no one in the team to disagree with this weird decision?!

I am a user since 9 years, VIP since 4, and use this service daily. I must say, however, that since the rebranding I have not appreciated any new features or changes (including the rebranding itself). In fact, I am quite disappointed and doubtful about the future of Trakt: I feel like I am no longer on the same Trakt that I have used for so many years.
The new cost is extremely excessive: a service for keeping track of movies and TV series cannot cost as much, or nearly as much, as a service that produces those same movies and TV series (or even more, if we consider local prices. In my country, for example, Prime Video costs 50€/year, equivalent to $52, less than the $60 charged for Trakt VIP).
These limits are meaningless: Trakt’s slogan is “Discover. Track. Share.” Sharing is key to creating a large community and spreading the service. Large lists to share are the best way to discover new content to watch and to introduce new users to the service. You are taking 2/3 of your slogan away from free users, basically leaving only the ability to track, hurting them, the service and, indirectly, us VIP users as well. We will end up on a more empty and less “living” Trakt. Tighter limits will not push subscriptions, they will simply drive users away.
I could just shut up, since in my case, as a VIP user, I will continue to pay the old price of $30 and have no limits…but the new path Trakt is taking worries me to the point that I still have to have my say, even if not directly involved

Why would it be any of your business? Most of your comments don’t even make much sense considering the context. Just stop telling people how to live their lives. Please! If you don’t have many items in your watchlist, doesn’t mean others are not allowed to.

Seriously. The rebranding was ok for me, was just something cosmetic. But limiting the watchlist for just 100 items??? I have 700 items on my watchlist, 100 items is ridiculous small. What’s next? Limiting the history?
This is really a shame, I loved Trakt. I recommend Trakt for every single Letterboxd user and now my face is just broken. I can’t recommend Trakt for anyone now. I’m really searching for alternatives and I don’t want to do that.

I watch so many things, animated shows, live action, animated movies and I want to track them all in separate categories. And now with these limits, the only way I can look back on all these things is to go through my watch history where all this is mashed together, making it impossible to have my separate lists for these different mediums.
I didn’t come to this site just to have a watch history, the main appeal has always been that I can put it all in separate categories once I watch them and have an easy, quick access. And its literally how all tracking sites work. Goodreads? You can mark something as read and then put it all in whatever lists you want without restrictions. Myanime list? Everything you watch and read there is put in its own separate categories. Grouvee? Every video game you play goes into your play history AND you can make lists with different genres of games you played. So many sites with this exact functionality.
And this site used to allow me to do the same until now. So I feel the issue is pretty clear and one others have expressed too. Right now this is the only tracking site with this restriction so it should be pretty obvi why I am peeved and why so many others are too. Its a damn tracking site, tracking means to organize your stuff, not keep it all in some jumbled watch history of the hundreds of stuff you’ve watched and be unable to sort anything. Yeah you can sort your watch history by movies, tv shows and episodes but that doesnt account for the fact that I don’t want animated and live action all mashed in together. And thats just me, others have their own systems of sorting these things.

These horrible decisions come one month after Letterboxd officially confirmed they will be adding TV shows… great timing, Trakt.

Limiting the number of lists down to 2 and their sizes to 100, i can understand, but the watchlist being limited to 100 i simply can’t understand, Trakt’s core use is to track what tv shows and movies you’re watching, and a core feature of that is being able to create a watchlist. You shouldn’t be limiting a core feature of the app behind a paywall.

Completely agree with you, I actually didn’t like having Live-Action, Western Animation and Anime all mashed up together in the same lists so I took the time to make a separate list for each of them. I honestly thought that being able to organize everything like that is what made Trakt better than all the other similar sites but now I can’t even do all that lol

Yeah, most people treat tracking sites as libraries of what they’ve read, watched, played and libraries are meant to be customized. Ive seen plenty of users here who sorted the stuff they’ve watched by genres cause they wanna go back to those genre list for reccomendations or to do a marathon, like a horror movie marathon. What about ppl who make lists with christimas movies they can watch when the season comes? Ppl have diff watching habits and trakt used to be very good in that aspect, accomidating these habits without issues. Like i recently made list (before these changes took place) where I track the movies I watch along with friends every weekend cause they havent watched many movies and I’m showing them various stuff and I use the site to keep track of it. Thats the kind of user experience one would want from such a site and I’m not sure why any of us are criticized for it.

Wait what. I’ve been a long time MAL user and I have no idea what you’re saying here.
There’s only one list. But you can filter on watching, on-hold, completed, dropped. There’s nothing separate for each genre or type. Just filters.
If you ask me Trakt has more robust/advanced tracking and storting/filtering.
Honest question. I’d love to know more MAL secrets haha.
