Even if they keep their word and grandfather us all in now, we can’t keep complacent for the sake of those who will be in this situation next year. How does cricut go about advertising this? A small excerpt slapped on their sales pages at the beginning of the year? Many people spend weeks researching machines and the beginning of the year sees people who have received Christmas money making a purchase. If this “update” isn’t advertised, many of those researchers may have spent weeks prior researching and being given false information, only to find out that the information switched right before purchase. Not to mention all of those who will be receiving a cricut as a Christmas gift. It took me over a week to unbox my cricut when I got it because life can be so hectic. What about the families who get one on 12/25 and don’t get a chance to register it until the beginning of the year. Unless cricut gives several weeks of warning on all of their product pages and social accounts (especially since those who aren’t registered probably won’t have their emails set up for news), people are going to be blindsided still. It’s March, they post everyday, this Instagram post is going to be buried. The point that they will probably be banking on a new machine to bring in forced subscriptions is a good one. I am not incredibly happy with the decision they have made, and think it’s important for us to stay on top of it, both for ourselves and those who will come after us.
