 * Though the premium plugin has worked on a number of websites I manage, on one
   the Premium plugin actually causes the Social tab of Yoast SEO to become non-
   functional (needing to disable the Premium plugin to be able to use it). This
   means the Yoast Premium plugin is **not** coded in a way to make it immune to
   JavaScript changes within WordPress, plugins or themes.
 * In addition, on discovery of this very infrequently used part of Yoast SEO (non-
   premium) being affected by Yoast SEO Premium, support’s response is: it’s a problem
   with your theme and they will not investigate.
 * Even more unacceptable is that when telling them we therefore want a refund, 
   they say we’re past the refund period, despite not being able to catch this (
   for us) very infrequently used feature until very recently.
 * Support for Premium is not at a level where they can solve anything, and Customer
   support is unwilling to acknowledge that the only plugin having any issue is 
   their Premium plugin, and that the theme causes no problems for anything else
   within the WordPress ecosystem, and not even with their non-premium plugin.
 * BE VERY AWARE that Yoast SEO Premium support is basically incompetent, and will
   not try to help you.
