I modified the title to make it more descriptive
I also think it’s time for the open source and/or fediverse Trakt alternatives to get some love.
The price change is listed as going from $30 a year to $60 a year, and they’re also changing everyone to that price:
Starting May 20, 2025, all VIP renewals will move to a standardized price. This means that any legacy, promotional, or grandfathered pricing will no longer apply to renewals processed on or after that date. Instead, all VIP memberships will renew at the new standard rate going forward.
People are not happy on their forum:

This user poll suggests that around 97% of respondents (at the time of making this post) will not renew

Less for tracking watched statuses… and more for say using kodi with addons like thecrew and similar that stream shows from torrents etc… that currently allow you to have a page that is a list of shows/movies on your trakt tv, and you can select from there to watch them.
Marking things as watched is pretty far down on the list of features I care about. Having the addons put new episodes up and have a quick list of my shows rather than having to search them on my firestick using the god awful remote to type in the names and search for them… and actually having it syncronized on my network, would be the main feature I’d like to use anything else for.
Unfortunately I’d guess the first and foremost part of that is, it will need to start with the addons actually adding support for something other than trakt to do that.
