I understand not wanting another subscription to pay for, but I just can't agree this is something they should do.

This was a comment about their financials last year. This isn't a high profit business making hand over fist and exploiting users.

I'm happy to pay monthly to get a service I see as valuable, especially if it ensures that this service is sustainable long-term and doesn't disappear because of money.
