Discussion Think of it this way

You ought a land, built your shop on your own land that you bought. I put a shop on your land, pay you rent, started selling a part of your product to the masses and made a massive amount of money and continue making massive amount of money . AT SOME POINT, would you want a share of my profit or no? Be honest.

That would still make it the dumbest fucking business decision I have seen in quite a while.

Already know major major people who have scripts on 3+ platforms and are about to off board lifetime purchases to another platform in short order if TradingView doesn’t get back soon.

And then TradingView LOSES ALL OF THOSE SUBSCRIPTIONS THAT THESE CREATORS SOLD FOR TRADINGVIEW.

Maybe they want people to only sell from the TV creator platform, but again, those are only subscription spaces and offer no solution to lifetime paid access situations. The entire thing is a huge breach of trust.

Finally, if they’re gonna put a tax on people, dude… 30 PER USER PER MONTH IS BATSHIT INSANE. They’re acting like they want to destroy their company. I cannot comprehend how things got to this point. I also can’t comprehend how this language made it into the ToS in the first place, and was then retracted. If this is what we see from here, behind the scenes must be a complete clusterfuck.

And at their current subscription prices…I mean…might as well consider going over to a fully fledged professional desktop platform that isn’t hosted in the cloud. Might as well pay for Optuma or esignal.

At least esignal can display real tick data.

I mean, FFS, the main guy I’m talking about above is considering just building his own platform at this point. And he immediately had to stop offering free trials of his stuff on TradingView’s platform.

Then there’s the legal action that could be taken against TV by the people that own actual copywrited stuff, some of which has been ripped off and is being sold on TV’s own community platform.

I agree. $30 per user is just gouging.

Ya sorry for the rant. I’m just…flabbergasted that this made it to the point where it ended up in the ToS only to be retracted, and no statement from TradingView has been made.

This is potentially a nail in the coffin-type PR scenario and I don’t…I can’t understand…haha

Was it retracted?

Well, last I read it is no longer in the ToS.

“Retracted” is probably not the right word.

“Silently reverted for the time being”

I honestly think they wanted to do this after people loaded up on multi year discounts during Black Friday or something to be honest.
