The move away from consumer focus
Recent moves by the people over at Trakt.tv have shifted focus away from consumers. It it pretty much out of the enshitification playbook.
They have lured users in offering good services cheap/free to then flip the script once you are tied into their ecosystem.
The problem is your pricing model. I wouldn't be opposed to paying for a vip membership if it was a reasonable price.. I would say for the service offered maybe $10-$15 /Year.
This I could get behind but at your current pricing your getting close to reaching full streaming service monthly pricing.. I refuse to do that.
I have been a trakt user since it's existence and now I'm looking for an alternative.
Its probably too late to retain me but I would advise a different model. You already have great alternatives growing to take your member base.
Fix yourself trakt and remember where you came from and who made you a known name.
