>Your consideration doesn't pay for dev time.

But rather than asking users to pay for newly developed premium functionality, they asked long term users to pay for things that they already had and had always been provided for free.

>Shit or get off the pot.

In this metaphor, they started charging people for using a previously freely accessible pot while they were in mid-shit.

Economics change and companies change. IIRC the company has been sold twice and maybe the new company can't underwrite the ongoing maintenance or just refuses to?

Do users have a right to exist under legacy covenants when things at the company have changed?

Again, this is why I advocate for shopping at monetization time. The company has altered the deal, maybe you should alter it further?

Yeah, I absolutely agree with that. I personally moved my family to Bitwarden and am very happy so far.

IIRC, mobile usage _was not_ free, but later became free.

its 10 bucks a year for family... The change was years ago too. I think its time to get over it.
