Trakt is roughly $2.50 A MONTH and that’s still ONLY if you want to pay that.
I’ve definitely spent more on coffee more times than I can count so I don’t mind paying the cost.
The simple thing is if you don’t want it, you don’t have to have it.

$2.50 only for old VIPs…

That may be however even at $5 right now that’s £3.84 GBP a month which is less than a large coffee…so my point still stands. I don’t mind paying for someone or a teams hard effort is what I’m saying. especially if it’s a product I use, time is money after all. Old VIPs have also been paying for longer so if anything newer members are just playing catch up…
Maybe another option where you get less features might solve that then? I’m not taking sides. Just merely giving my opinion.

You don’t have it so bad. I live in Canada and recently paid my $60. and got charged $90.02 Canadian. I have removed auto renewal and will see what the exchange rate is at that time. I didn’t mind the $60, but I do object to the $90.

What was the score before the price change?
There were more unpopular changes recently, so it’s hard to tell what caused this effect.

I hope all the “1” ratings closed their Trakt accounts. I wouldn’t use any app I rated a 1 even if it was free.
This is Google Play rating. Does not really prove anything really as iOS app stands at 4.5 so…
I apologize immediately for my bad English. I have been using Trakt for 13 years. I would like to say a huge thank you to the team for the excellent service. Of course it was unpleasant to learn about the new restrictions. I work in the sphere related to websites, so I understand very well how expensive it can be to maintain servers and support such a product.
But for my region the price of VIP is really quite expensive. And I don’t even have the opportunity to pay directly, and I don’t think there will be regional prices for me in the near future.
I also understand that the subscription should cost a certain amount, so that the number of VIP users to cover the costs.
But maybe it makes sense to think about a super lite version of the subscription for around 1$ where there will be nothing - Reviews, Stats, Autotracking, Filtering, Backups, Export even Lists and Collections. Just unlimited Watchlist.
It is clear that there are those features in VIP for the sake of which most people buy a subscription, and it is most likely Lists, Collections, maybe Filters and adding such a tariff will probably break the economy, but without Watchlist the service becomes almost unusable.

I am willing to pay $30 per year, the problem is that I made the first subscription through Google Play via the app and when I canceled the subscription because I wanted to pay annually and not monthly, the subscription went back to $60 instead of $30, $60 is too much, a shame
I currently only have 1 day of VIP left. 
Send your info to support@trakt.tv or dm @support . I can’t speak for them but they may accommodate your request before your sub expires.

I don’t need to be a VIP, but I don’t want ads. No value here for me after 10 or more years as a ‘VIP’ and I’m not alone. Trakt is no longer relevant, and making bad business decisions to try and salvage things. Sad.

I really think there should be lower tiers added. All fun that Trakt decided to add a lot of costly nonsense throughout the years, but I never came to Trakt or became a VIP for any of that crap. All I want is unlimited lists, no ads & advanced filters. You know, the basic stuff. And that stuff ain’t worth a price increase.
I have never used all that fancy stupid crap they added throughout the years, nor will I. Add a different tier of VIP at the new price for the ones who do want all that extra crap, I don’t care. But don’t make me, a basic power user that only uses some of your internal database space and server power for loading pages, pay for it.
Really hate that later of the year I will lose a bunch of my lists and will probably quit using Trakt then. Trakt has been my browser’s homepage for many years, so I’ll need to figure out what to replace it with. But so be it. Been a fun ride.

I lost count of how many times tiers have been suggested.

…and in several other threads…
The only “official” response amounts to “it’s too hard to implement & everyone wants different things and and and…”.

That’s what I’ve been saying also, since the downgrade of free tier.
I think having a “mix-and-match” type of subscription might bring them more money than throwing every feature, where most people that buy/want to buy VIP would use half of them at most, behind a high paywall
