Paying for a plug-in as basic as this seems like abuse to me.

Jetpack used to be a helpful and free tool to enhance my WordPress site’s functionality. However, now that it has become a paid service, my experience has been completely ruined. It’s disappointing to see how a once relied-upon free and reliable plugin now forces us to pay absurd monthly fees for features we used to enjoy for free.

The shift to a paid model feels more like a greedy strategy to squeeze money out of users than a decision to improve the product. The quality of service doesn’t justify the exorbitant price they’re charging. Furthermore, the lack of transparency in communication about this change is unacceptable. We’ve been left in the dark and feel abandoned by a company we once trusted.

Instead of enhancing the user experience, this move seems more focused on lining the pockets of the company behind Jetpack. I feel betrayed and frustrated by this decision, and I’m seeking out more ethical and affordable alternatives to improve my WordPress site. I wouldn’t recommend Jetpack to anyone in its current state unless they’re willing to shell out money for a service that used to be free and reliable.
