Absolutely absurd. Truly moronic. I hope your little money grab attempt completely backfires.

Gotta say, I do like your reasoning. Instead of being able to give a bit of money to use some desired features, everyone is being forced to give a lot of money to just keep the features we used to have, again for a non-essential service. I’d also simply rather spend my time (manual tracking and watchlist monitoring) than this much money tbh.
And yes, it is a lot of money.
Breaking it down by day/hour and comparing it to a coffee/take-out is a common sales tactic (especially in the Western world) to make things seem affordable to the gullible. I’m always wary of motivation/intent when someone uses this analogy.
This analogy doesn’t magically somehow increase the value or reduce the price of what you are paying for, nor make it worth the cost. It also doesn’t work on people who don’t frivolously eat out or buy expensive coffees.

That sounds more like a third-party app problem, than a Trakt problem.
Have you contacted the app developer yet?
You’re not VIP, so it can’t be the streaming scrobbler (that’s still in BETA) that’s having issues.

I don’t know the app so I don’t know the terminology but you’re talking about “collection” on that thread there. If your collected is already over 100 shows and/or movies and you’re no VIP then the error seems to be explained with this thread.
Or do you mean you cant scrobble or sync watched history? Because I don’t take that from your topic there honestly and maybe you should clarify over there for them to be able to give better support.
Correlation does not imply causation
You keep talking about collection. But if an app needs to the collection feature on trakt to scrobble or send watch data its honestly a bad(ly designed) app

I’ve been an active user of the Trakt site for over 10 years. I’ve contributed to the community by leaving comments, reviews, ratings, and even adding new shows, flagging and reporting duplicate content, and fixing cast lists, posters, info etc on TMDB so it’d show proper info on Trakt. My comments have been liked by hundreds of people over the years, so I feel confident my usage of the platform has been helpful to plenty of other users.
Of course I have more than 2 lists and have surpassed the 100 items maximum. And given the info on how not even 10% of active users surpass those limits, I don’t get why those features have now been locked behind a paywall. If they didn’t move the needle, why block them off?
I’ve already started actively looking for an alternative site. As a veteran user I don’t appreciate being restricted and made to feel less-than because I can’t afford a VIP account.

Shame. This website was cool, and I used to not mind the fact that some features are locked behind paywalls. They’ve got to make money somehow right? But this is beyond ridiculous.

Sorry to derail the convo, but how are y’all using smiley faces a fire emoji? All I ever have access to is the heart. I’m old. School me please! Thank you!

Thanks! Now I understand! It can’t be done with an iPad and a Magic Keyboard. It doesn’t work with an Apple Pencil either. I like having more options! Woot!

Me too. It feels weird to be loving some of these posts.

They work perfectly, I have no idea what you are trying to say. Don’t you find it strange you’re the only one who made this claim? Out of literally all Trakt users? Maybe some other people would have noticed by now if the main functionality of Trakt (mark as watched) stopped working all of a sudden?

I’m against these changes sure, but in your case, you said you only use Trakt to list what you’ve watched, no additional features, may I suggest simply not adding everything you watched to your collection and your “movie list/series list”? You can just go to your history and it shows you exactly the same thing, with dates even. You can also filter it so that it only shows movies, shows, or even episodes.
Adding everything you watch to your collection AND a list (apart from sounding like a bit of extra work), is really useless, even more now that it became VIP only.

i know it works checking in through the website but it does count through the app as well? I assume so, it just doesn’t give any indication like it does on the website
You can post whatever you want here, but it won’t change anything. My bad for using Kodi+elementum, but it was free, so I can only thank Justin for great times with the service. Love y’all.

Looks like I’m in the same boat unfortunately. Just don’t understand where this is all headed.
I’ll be looking for something self-hosted in future.

Fair point, by identical (definitely wrong choice of word) I meant comparable based on Apple’s automatic price adjustment for the USD $6 tier we chose which I assumed was relatively close, and maybe it was last year when we did it. Perhaps we can try apply more specific here too. But for now free month is available and then can switch to the website fee if necessary as a workaround.
PS. There’s possibly a lot more replies since I last responded which I’ll get to when I can.
