Just a note on your “I would have accepted an extra $10 a month (33% increase), but this is just too much.”
Currently the sub costs $2.50 per month ($2.50 x 12 = $30), with the current increase in price coming the 20th it’ll raise it another $2.50 per month so it’ll now be $5 a month ($5 x 12 = $60), if we took your idea of an extra $10 a month ($2.50 + $10 ($12.50 a month)) that would be $150 a year instead of $60 a year which I don’t think you would like at all unless you mistyped and meant an extra $10 a year instead of month.
I don’t renew until November but I just cancelled my payment settings. Sorry, double the price with nothing else to offer after telling me “Thanks” just doesn’t sit right. This is a cash grab considering the owners claimed that “Trakt doesn’t have a revenue problem”
Same here - renewal only in January, but will have to move to alternatives. Already did look at some when free tier became unusable, so I think I have options to replace Trakt… Really sad to see the greedy downfall
I remember the absolutely deafening cricket sound after I asked Justin why they’re making such sweeping changes to squeeze more revenue out of users if there is no revenue problem.
Thankfully I have until next May to decide if 4x the VIP price is worth it for me. What thanks for 11 years of loyalty, huh?
Congratulations for focking every VIP owner over!!! You simply could not raise the bar to 5€ per month and the annual to 40€, maybe 45€, something like that. Something reasonable like that. But instead - and I know you heard it before- you double the price!!! For what reasons?? Everything gets more expensive all the time - be it power, hardware or whatever … but that is not only for you, we also suffer (and I mean that). But this raise of the fee with no new features announced and some of the older still not working (frigging Paramount still not getting what I watch. I cannot sync that shit. After enteriing user and password it goes back to the selection of the services and I can „log in“ again instead of a „synced“ button like the others have…
Look in forums and this board especially, make the maths and please god don’t let this be your final decision!!!
Some advice, fire the management team that made a 100% price increase decision before you collapse. I have never seen a worse decision for a service such as this ever before. Too bad for the core geniuses that built this platform and love it who now have to watch it decay away due to some imbecile management. Hopefully the developers already cashed out and have the next best thing already drafted. Already cancelled, 5+ years.
That would be Justin. Firing Justin basically is firing Trakt but it’s heading in that direction anyway LOL. not sure how they will survive with all the VIP members cancelling/not renewing LOL
Well we saw this coming they kept doing stupid changes and this one was to be expected bye bye i also have cancelled my VIP plan hope they will go down hill hard…
