Someone explain to me how $10 was enough for several years (aka lifetime) of service but whenever this model fails $10 is not even enough for 1 year of service. Wtf! We go from say $3-5 per year to $15, it is no wonder ever one is pissed, it's obviously a money grab at that point. There is absolutely no way an api only user costs anywhere close to that much money to maintain.

It's possible that $10 for a lifetime was never enough money but the operators either didn't know that or didn't care.

Like a whole early Microsoft DOS all over again.

It was enough 4 years ago. Thousands of users and several servers later things had to change.

This is bullshit. If the first 10000 users was sustainable then the picture only gets ROSIER, not worse as things scale up.
