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.

Wow, just wow. Once again, shooting yourself in the foot.
I will be gone once my VIP ends in a year

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.
simkl does offer the option to log into your trakt account so it can import your collection and watch history. it will show you anything that it couldn’t reconcile so you can fix it manually by searching and adding them

I just found out about the 100 items limitation for my watchlist. That’s just a really bad move that I really can’t understand.

@justin , the list is still growing of those members that do not know about these changes even now.
As you have stated that you plan to improve communication moving forward, it is still not too late to send out a blanket email. There are probably hundreds of members out there that still do not know what has happened regarding these changes.
Please, please, please: send out a blanket email to everyone asap.

I’ll do the comparison the other way round, then.
I pay for Amazon Prime 49PLN/year. I get free shipping, access to thousands of hours of content in Prime Video and Prime Gaming, and other perks.
Trakt VIP costs almost 250PLN/year (5 times more than Prime), gives me no original content, and, as much as I like it, is not much more for me than a very fancy spreadsheet.
Do you see the problem here?

The problem here is that you did not read the edit at the bottom of my post
Edit: I know I am looking at it from a ‘western’ point of view and not taking into account other countries eg India, where Trakt is more expensive than than other local stuff for you guys. My reasoning above is not aimed at you.
49PLN is less than £10. If I could get Amazon for that I would be jumping with joy. It costs £90 a year here (455PLN) and that’s with adverts! In comparison, Trakt VIP is £48, just over half the amount.
But I get your point, perhaps it was not a good comparison, hence the edit I added a few hours after the original post.
I think it was more a case of trying to talk myself into thinking $60 was a fair deal. 
Haha, you know very well it isn’t fair. Don’t fall prey to the Endowment Effect (Endowment effect - Wikipedia) as some of the other VIPs seem to have done.
Just because Amazon Prime is overpriced in your country doesn’t make this Trakt pricing any better lol.
I just looked it up. Amazon Prime costs me $99 CAD a year, Trakt now costs $85.82 CAD a year. 
These services are obviously in no way commensurate; but the prices now are. I am really surprised there are actually people trying to defend this (although if I consider the ‘politics’ of it, and people’s biases, maybe not that surprising).
To put it YET another way, if bread (substitute with any commodity/item you wish) doubled in price, does it make sense to attack/insult the people who complain about it because you have a existing deal to get the bread at the original price?
Some people used to get free crust with a little bit of bread on it because they could not afford (or didn’t want) whole loaves. Now they get just a little crust with no actual bread on it, only those who buy full loaves get bread.
Leaving these people hungry and unsatisfied, so most likely they will switch to eating rice instead (despite whatever preference they may have for bread) because that didn’t unnecessarily double in price and the free rice doesn’t leave them still hungry.
Of course the farmer and baker need to make money for their hard work, but charging double what they did before, without making the bread any better, and while reducing the quality of that free crust?
Yeaah, that will deeefinitely make them more money. 
I know this is a strange analogy but maybe this will help the naysayers understand the problem…

Who have I attacked? Completely bemused by this paragraph.
FYI: If I continue my VIP membership next year, I’ll be paying $60 myself. That’s IF I stay. 
I didn’t say you’ve attacked anyone. But some people who complained certainly have been attacked in this thread in a very entitled way. Not targeted at you, my aplogies.

You have a Trakt light webpage now. How about VIP light to just remove the limits? They’re absolutely ridiculous and $60 a year is definitely too expensive, don’t need all that stuff. Just the lists.
But looks like I have to look for alternatives now. Let‘s see if Kevin from Rippple is open to implementing other services because I already pay for that.

Just wow, 487 messages and we are just in January… after that really dumb move.
Record of a post in messages and reactions since the forum was created? Good job Trakt. Well done. Looks like the users looks happy.

How come you won’t explain what DEI stands for? I think everyone here also is wondering too. I’m still curious to understand what it stands for. Is it a made up acronym? I only have one question, so hope we get an answer lol.
I see where you’re coming from, but unless you’re able to get away without using the collection feature then it’s hard to have a solution with the current state of things. I would’ve thought media centres are the Source of Truth therefore you don’t need anything but the history but I’ve never used one to know.
It’s hard to say anything without sounding like I’m telling you what to do or “too bad” but if three people are using one account so much and you’re that invested and there’s no other alternatives, $100 between three people doesn’t seem that bad. If it were 3 people paying ($300) yeah I tend to have similar issues but perhaps you’d be able to have one account with the sub to sync your collection and then two other free accounts that don’t need it. As you suggested, people who don’t want to pay just won’t, and others will adapt or work around.
Again, it’s hard for me to understand completely how media centres work without having used one.
