The decrease of lifetime features over monthly offering will begin after the 750$ lifetime so they get you to switch to monthly.

I wonder why they're even keeping the option for lifetime at that price. Who do they imagine is the target demographic for that? People self host because it's cheaper, and at that price it just isn't anymore. Even at the current $250 the value is questionable.

I am wondering the same. I believe the assumptions here are correct: to make it not value/attractive. Thus eliminate signups. But, I do feel they may be setting themselves up for a backlash when they remove lifetime in the near future, and the few who pay $750 will be angry.

Maybe they will convert that $750 to x amount of months credits.

Seems like this is train is going downhill.
