I'm concerned with switching to a small alternative which then becomes untenable or shutters within a year and then having to piss around again.
They've been making deeeeeep cuts in order to make the company "more like a startup", as per Jack Doresey's comments.
They laid off 10% of their workforce last year, and like 20% of the remaining work force late this year with cuts to engineering expected. It is not in a healthy place, seemingly, and they cover a very small slither of the market.

It doesn't help that their parent company makes so little from them compared to a series of crypto ventures, but what can really compare to that.
Bandcamp the union busting company that laid off like 75% of its staff over 2023...?
Tidal has decided to sunset it's app, which means it's basically on maintenance mode now. Somewhat off putting.
Ukraine has no interest in putting even more of its population into Russia's meat grinder... because they will obviously lose a war of attrition.
Some people can only hear "AI means I can pay people less/get rid of them entirely" and stop listening.
So many services still don't even offer 2FA at all. Any service that stores payment information and PII without any 2FA options, let alone a secure one, at this point are a disgrace.
This always the solution to these big, over promised AI projects... "what if i just pay someone a pittance to do the hard part."
I reserve the right to use my copy of "Mario is Missing!" from 1993.
If only they explained their reasoning somewhere... all these headlines are so inconsiderate.
