They are headed straight for a LastPass repeat. One of two things is going to happen. Either they change the price back or they end up like LastPass (a distant memory). It will necessitate the creation of something better and people will flock to it. It’s like they want to repeat other companies bad decision!
I just cancelled my VIP as well!!

They won’t respond. They probably won’t even read any of this. They just don’t give a s**t, so I’m speaking with my wallet. I cancelled my VIP this morning, right after reading the mail.

I don’t know about everybody else, but even if they change back, I’m not going to pay them again. They taught us a valuable lesson: this isn’t a company we should trust to make good decisions.

Good point. We need to use the forums to share an alternative.
You could contribute here I suppose 
GitHub - FuzzyGrim/Yamtrack: A self hosted media tracker.

Tbh, I would resubscribe if they change it back to proof that I accepted their apology.
If they don’t, they won’t see the reward that is listening to the community and thus stay shitty.
If they don’t change back, I won’t bother as well.
I wouldn’t tbh. Only a few months back Justin promised that long term subscribers would be grandfathered. That promise wasn’t fulfilled as well as many others small and large.
Credibility is down the drain…

Wasnt really aware of that occurence but if true, totally fair and now I would really hesitate about renewing.

Just my opinion but I also wouldn’t resub if they came to their senses and changed it back unless they kept their word and grandfathered the “early ones” like they initially said they would.

Have you tried any of these options? What do you recommend and why?
Thanks for the suggestions

I have at one time or another tried all of them except for the 2 selfhost options IE. YamTrack and Riot, but Ihavent tested them recently or extensively.
From what I remember
Simkl is the closest to a one off comparison followed by Mdblist
It also depends a lot on how you stream.
For instance I use K0-D-ei-ei-O and the best option I can think of is to use TMDB for lists do to a recent change that allows basicly unlimited lists, and then use Trakt, and or Simkl simply to scrobble which is free.
From what I remember of ReelGood it was pretty solid but it hasnt been adopted by any of the main players last I used it was with Syncler iirc., and Justwatch is very similar to Reelgood
MdBlists has a lot of the same functions as Trakt but requires a paid tier for more than 4 lists, the only real problem there is it hasn’t been widely adopted either.
There are a couple others that popped up around the time of the free tier announcement BS that might be worth looking into as well but I don’t remember the names I found them originaly discussed in reddit.
I hope this helps

I’ve only just started trying it, but if you’re open to self-hosting, Yamtrack looks really promising, with an active developer leading the charge.

Good question. I’m not exactly sure, depends how limited the shared hosting is.
It can take a bit of time to set up if it’s your first time, but a while ago I installed Ubuntu Server on an old laptop, and now I just have it on all the time running apps like this. Any weak old PC can do it. Pretty darn cool once you have it going!
Still, self hosting definitely isn’t the right solution for everyone.
I do use Plex and Infuse and really enjoy the scrobbling feature, which is mostly what I use atm so tautulli will be something I try. But I definitely want to get into the lists options etc. I like the reviews aspect of trakt which is a shame to lose it, oh well.
I don’t mind self hosting so I will give it a go. I will miss the curated reviews of all the movies/ shows. Guess I can still drop by trakt for that if need be. Thanks!

So in the last year I have cancelled my last.fm guardian and trakt.tv subs because of shady practices. I paid all those years to support good services for everyone and as much as I could afford.it is few thousands 
…
Now due to the orange crybaby attacks I have also cancelled Netflix Disney+ Amazon Prime Video so I will have some few bucks for few books..much better investment
