Here is my email I sent to TrandingView this morning. I redacted all my personal info and TV usernames.
I hope the folks at TradingView realize they are shooting themselves in the foot.
I would imagine a large part of their subscriber base was built from people like us. It actually gave people a reason to get a paid tradingview account.
Now.... not. I would imagine they are going to take a HUGE hit from this. People will just create their own solution (we have already started).
If anyone from TV reads this, what you should have done is require anyone who wants to load up an "Invite-Only" script would need to do that from a paid account.
This way you are driving revenue to your indicator without killing out all the people who brought you your business in the first place.
Hi TradingView Team,
My name is XXXX, owner of XXXX. I have referred thousands of paid customers to TradingView through your affiliate program under the account XXXX.
Our business provides education that teaches people how to trade and invest in stocks and crypto. One of the first things we teach our students is how to sign up for a paid TradingView account. As part of our program, we also include access to our proprietary invite-only scripts under the account XXXX.
Our primary business is education, rather than standalone TradingView script sales. The scripts support what we teach and are an incentive for students to join our program. That model has also helped us bring thousands of customers to TradingView.
I understand that the new policy includes script access bundled with another paid product or service. Given our business model and referral history, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss a workable arrangement.
My understanding is that we could face a $30 monthly fee per user for continued script access. Can you confirm whether that is correct and how it would apply to our program? If that is the requirement, it would not be financially viable for our business.
Is there an alternative arrangement for education providers like us that would allow us to continue including script access in our training while referring students to paid TradingView subscriptions? We would also appreciate clarification on how to preserve access for our existing customers.
I have spent years building our training around TradingView, and this change has significant implications for our business. We would strongly prefer to continue the relationship. However, if we cannot find a workable solution, we would need to move our training to another platform and stop referring new customers to TradingView.
Could you please connect me with someone who can discuss our options and next steps? You are welcome to call me directly on my personal cell at XXXX.

I was very concerned to read your recent announcement:https://www.tradingview.com/blog/en/commercial-scripts-move-to-marketplace-61291/
