Thanks for those kind words! One of the many reasons I'm making this voluntary is that there's a variety of people who are not in a financial position to switch over now, and I don't want to yank the rug out from under them. You can't really look at the old-style business model in isolation—the world of 2009 was one where there was a really popular free bookmarking service, and it was easy to piggyback off of them by offering better privacy and higher information density to a frustrated segment of their users. In 2021, most link sharing has moved into siloed apps like Twitter, Facebook or Reddit, so there's not that big population of average Joe and Jane bookmarkers to draw from, and people have much higher expectations as far as their ability to manage large collections goes. There are also very deep-pocketed competitors (one baked into a major browser) that charge steep annual fees. The business has changed.
