      How much longer until all the current lifetime subscribers have to pay up to the current price to keep it?

        Yeah - they know that you are using the service a lot. They know that you are willing to pay. But they are not getting ongoing revenue from you. That is something no MBA manager CEO dude can accept. They will come for lifetime users

      I’m just waiting for them to decide all the lifetime members need to pay monthly and kill off the lifetime memberships. Probably by having a ‘new’ version that for some made up reason can only function on the blood of the unborn on monthly subscriptions. Where the only real change will be a different UI that’s missing features which they will tout as “cleaner”.
