I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

That's what they are trying to communicate here, yes. But 8.5 million users didn't need to be told they need to trust the platform, they chose to. As did I with a premium plan to cover MFA and attachments.

Now with business types in charge and a hidden doubling of the fees, that's more than halfway out the window no matter what the website stands for. I'm guessing somebody decided it's time to cash in on the goodwill they built over the past decade.
