   We're now in Trakt migration 2.0.

   The move by Trakt that triggered Trakt Migrtation 1.0 was understandable, they have to make money.

   But in this latest move, messing with grandfathered accounts, no, not understandable.

   You just don't mess with grandfathered accounts ever in any service. That's your way of saying, "Thank you for always being with us since the beginning".

   My mobile network plan is a grandfathered account, and the network have been trying to get us to "upgrade" to a "better" plan. Ad that's to mention one such.

   Even in gaming, grandfathered accounts are not touched ever. If they cancel, that's the only time things change. Why? Simple, the current contract/subscription ended. So, the next time the user subscribe, it will be under the current scheme.

   In addition, owners of grandfathered accounts will do everything to keep it. They'll borrow money if it comes to that. You have grandfathered accounts that are paying you but the owners are rarely using it. Compare that to the owners cancelling their grandfathered accounts because it no longer has any value for them.

   Just like right now. Many are cancelling because.

   Time to move to #NeoDB or #SIMKL

   Pick NeoDB if you want to be in the #Fediverse. Or, pick SIMKL if you want free "Pro" just by logging-in at least 20 days.

   Both NeoDB and SIMKL combines various databases into one easy to use interface.

     This will happen more and more as companies get bought and sold. It recently happened to grandfathered accounts of VPNSecure, the new heads of the company canceled a whole bunch of grandfathered accounts and the story hit the news it was so bad. I used to be a big fan of Trakt, and wasn't on a grandfathered account but this move has me moving elsewhere too.
