A lot of major platforms are declining or otherwise having problems now and which could lead to the reshaping of the Internet.
Google is cutting its operating costs and having an inactive account policy which some described as "harsh" because it entails the summary deletion of those accounts, while having some scandals with antitrust and incognito browser which saw them sued. Twitter is in steady decline due to the antics of Elon Musk which scared away a lot of financial backers. Reddit's API pricing are described as "expensive" and "harsh" as well which made a lot of users to jump ship to Lemmy et al.
But they are all far from being climaxes because Wikipedia, once the "purest" place of the Internet, had been getting increasingly negative coverage where the distortions in topic areas related to the Holocaust and Israel were reported, and according to credible rumors on an online forum populated with former Wikipedia editors, there are 20+ sexual harassment scandals against females committed by sysops and users which could be published on mainstream publications as a long form feature story next year.
Yeah, I thought the webpage was broken when I saw it! :D
I can understand that things like SSH and Funnel cost more, since they actually interact with their server infrastructure… but the removal of features and ACLs from Starter wasn't well communicated.
Yeah. I had a feeling of dread when I saw the "Changes to your Tailscale plan" email subject, but then was positively surprised by many of the changes. For smaller companies, getting the first three users for free will also be nice.
Previously almost all features were available [0] on all plans, though with certain restrictions that made sense (and some that didn't). I was hitting those limits and wanted to get approval for us to purchase the Team plan.
But now I see that features have been stripped out of the "new" Team plan — and was also frustrated that I couldn't find any information on this. I guess overall the pricing structure makes sense for them, but it's frustrating to not have this clearer in their article.
I suppose I can live without things like Funnel and SSH, and don't need Okta etc., but paying the new ACL tax for Starter to Premium (a $12 jump per user) is more painful.
Overall a positive, but with rough edges which unfortunately hurt me. But perhaps there'll be some tweaks in future, and perhaps again the opportunity to pay for individual feature upgrades.
