I modified the title to make it more descriptive

I also think it’s time for the open source and/or fediverse Trakt alternatives to get some love.

The price change is listed as going from $30 a year to $60 a year, and they’re also changing everyone to that price:

Starting May 20, 2025, all VIP renewals will move to a standardized price. This means that any legacy, promotional, or grandfathered pricing will no longer apply to renewals processed on or after that date. Instead, all VIP memberships will renew at the new standard rate going forward.

People are not happy on their forum:

This user poll suggests that around 97% of respondents (at the time of making this post) will not renew

    I don’t, and I don’t care what they make. I see double in cost, while simultaneously screwing over the founding members who literally funded their company…fuck em. They could make the best heartpacer for all I care. Doubling your cost…get fucked

        They do, and as a Canadian, they should know that fellow Canadian John Hopps invented the 1st pacemaker. He’s even considered the father of biomedical engineering. I dug through trying to find out if he coined the term “heartpacer,” no such luck. It sounds like a Dutch translation to me.
