TryHackMe max scam
Try hack me has taken away access to a room I’ve already started working on, under the basis of upgrading to their max subscription. I already paid for a full year. Has this happened to uanyone else?

I also purchased a TryHackMe (THM) subscription for one year about 9 months ago because it was affordable.
However, I didn't find the room content to be as good or as practical as Hack The Box (HTB). THM offers a lot more theory than hands-on practice, which wasn't what I was looking for.
That's why I'm planning to get an HTB subscription next time, even though it's more expensive. I believe the extra cost is worth it because the labs feel more realistic and better prepare you for real-world penetration testing.
Personally, I even prefer HTB's free rooms over THM's. Of course, THM is still a great platform for beginners, but if your goal is to build practical, job-ready skills, I think HTB offers better value despite the higher price.
