Trakt was a service I loved. One I recommended to people. A service that I was happy to pay for, even if it was $5 a month. Since the introduction of “watched at an unknown date”, it had all the features I ever wanted, and I would have been okay with paying these $5 per month even if all feature development basically stopped.
Being thrown into Trakt Lite today broke my heart.
I’m not even gonna talk about all the features it’s lacking, let alone the soul it’s lacking.
v3 is a mistake, and we’ve been vocal about this every step of the way. Having it forced upon us nevertheless is a clear sign of where this relationship is headed, and I’m not having it.
Cancelled my VIP a few minutes ago. It’s still valid until October, and a lot can change until then—for the better, or not.
I’m not angry, Trakt. I’m not “afraid of change”. I don’t hate you, or anyone involved in this decision. What I am is deeply sad and disappointed, and I feel betrayed. Here was this one website that brought me joy and wonder and excitement every time I opened it, because movies and shows are a passion of mine.
Now it’s just one more service that inevitably turns against its users. It’s a damn shame, really.
