But the company was built on that user growth. They were reporting the numbers to the investors and claiming "2.???; 3. Profit" all along. Especially now, with recession coming (interests rise => expectations of profitability increase), it's unfortunately suddenly important to show real profits.

Yeah… and now they’re grown to a size where everyone knows the product and they don’t need to get people interested from scratch in the same way.

If subsiding free users isn't attracting more paying customers, then slashing free tiers is a no brainer though.
