Same here. Any time I get annoyed with the site problems I just remind myself I paid once years ago and the site works 99% of the time.

I think if I was paying $20/year I would be really annoyed and have moved elsewhere years ago.

I decided to pay for 3 years to give myself enough runway to not think about it, I have 9 months left. So I guess I'm giving up and switching to self hosted.

Same with me but I chose to switch to the yearly subscription. I basically got ignored just the same.

I use Raindrop.io for now.

Maciej is aware of the outrage, if you can call it that. He seems rather hostile to those angry customers.

My hunch is that he got bored with Pinboard and plans to ignore it until it dies. Or breaks and then he does the minimum viable to get it duct taped again.

I personally like Maciej but just telling it like it is.
