As we all know, recently there has been a multitude of posts regarding both the cost of VIP and the new list limitations. I know I’m going to get slammed with this post but I read an article recently (PC World) which stated that Trakt pays Younify per user for the data that Trakt needs. Although …

@Ohifriend - (I’m replying it here since you asked.) I mean, the other offering from the VIP subscription are pretty standard or weak so the only thing that can justify majority of a $60 subscription is the automation of tracking that is Younify. So if anything $15 per user actually seems low consi…

Your thoughts seem reasonable but I don’t have anything else to add. I didn’t personally choose the prices but was just trying to communicate something more than nothing, and to at least show that concerns are being seen. As in a previous thread and probably above in this thread as we seem to rehas…

Well, I know I probably won’t leave as I am locked in the 30$ price… If that changes I’m probably finding another service. Other users might do similar and I don’t want the Trakt team to interpret that as being ok with the price increase or free tier changes. Also I would like to add that I mostly p…

Exactly, they are locking the existing users from leaving more than anything. This model only supports the existing users and is infact a ploy to keep them forever than add new revenue. Everyone is thinking if I leave, I lose a good deal meanwhile new users are thinking, I can’t join cause this is a…

So you are telling me, Younify, the site that advertises “everything you’re watching now and everything you want to watch, all in one place.” and “All of Your Watchlists Together At Last” is totally free to use but Trakt, that is partnered with Younify, wants us to pay $60 for us to have a watchlist…

[image] itiswhatitis: the other offering from the VIP subscription are pretty standard or weak so the only thing that can justify majority of a $60 subscription is the automation of tracking that is Younify. In your opinion, sure. Many other VIP members see value in the other features. [i…
