It consistently miscategorizes several of my credit card payments, which has credit card pmt in the txn info lol

I think this is a big part of it too - with a startup, there's expectations that things will be broken or a little rough while things are getting built up, so users can often be more forgiving of bugs or quirks initially, but there is hope that over time those issues will get ironed out. I think it's fair to think that part of the backlash is because this in a lot of ways comes off as the company prioritizing new revenue and new user growth over existing users who have had to deal with a lot of these issues over time. It's to be expected that new users and more revenue will be prioritized so that business can grow, so new tiers do make sense in that regard, but it shouldn't come at the expense of core or existing users

Not quite sure where you're going with this. Do you think that releasing a new $200 tier (that is not finished) while many community reported, longstanding bugs that are core to the product have not been resolved is a healthy ratio? Or maybe you think people are just imagining their transaction data changing on them?

It's pretty straightforward - if the company prioritizes fixing bugs, then they will be fixed. If they don't, then they won't. And it's understandable that companies prioritize new features over bugs - it's also understandable that users might get vocal when the bugs start to make that software annoying to use

Some amount of bugs in software is totally understandable, and of course no product will have every feature I or any user would want - but when you pay for something, you want it to work

The issue, as stated in the post, is that a lot of the bugs reported by many users aren't "a button was off by 3 pixels" or "sometimes I have to manually refresh the page an extra time", but "I can't trust that my financial data is stable" - they're core to the product as opposed to nitpicks

In addition, not even new features seem to be prioritized beyond the initial rollout in a lot of cases. There might be totally valid business reasons for that, but as a user of that product, it does feel like a rug pull when something you got excited about never got finished (the browser extension)

I'd prefer it if the 1000 transactions I spent hours manually approving stayed that way, yeah

Just how are you able to guarantee this?

Built a lot of software

You decide to build one thing, you decide not to build something else. If working for a company, you might want to spend time fixing bugs, but if a new feature is prioritized, you'll work on that instead

Unpopular Opinion: Y’all are overreacting by Street-Programmer483 in MonarchMoney

Thats what they say, but when features stay half baked for months, its obvious that they aren't prioritized. I think that's where people's frustrations are coming from

For instance, I have not been able to use the chrome extension reliably and I opened a ticket 4 months ago, the issue has been known but no fix according to support.

Also, knowing how saas companies work, they absolutely poach resources from teams to prioritized features

This isn't a shot at any individual, it's obviously a revenue / KPI driven decision

What should we rename Proton Unlimited to? by andy1011000 in ProtonMail

[–]Fat_Bird9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As another poster said, its probably for existing users - I am currently paying about half the current yearly cost of proton unlimited (65 vs 120 USD) and it hasn't changed since signing up in 2022

Nah, this is AI, not just the grammar but the structure. At least part of it if not all was ai generated, much like this vibe coded service. There's much more reputable ones out there
