 * When I first put WordPress on my server years ago, JetPack came recommended. 
   Sure, it had bloat, but it was a nice, FREE, one-stop place. So for years, I 
   used it. But then the folks who run JetPack said, “We need to charge these scum
   for anti-spam stuff!” So even if you have what amounts to a vanity site that 
   literally gets about 2¢/month in revenue, that means you need to lose even more
   money.
 * So while I raged at losing access to the anti-spam stuff from JetPack, I got 
   another plugin and moved on. Then when JetPack suddenly needed money to auto-
   post stuff to social media (’cause that apparently needs a massive development
   team to support it) beyond a few posts/month, I raged, but I just started doing
   my own social blasts.
 * The final straw came when I discovered JetPack now charges to look at bloody 
   stats. I immediately disabled the plugin and am gone. The stats were nice, and
   the top-10 feature was neat (though I noticed recently that it stopped working
   correctly), but I’ll get that info elsewhere. Basically, JetPack is dying, and
   this desperate cash grab whereby they want to charge separate fees for all their
   bloated components will no doubt eventually force them to go under, unless there
   are enough suckers out there.

 * Hello there – I know that price changes are never easy. We have not made this
   decision lightly; after providing the Jetpack Stats service for free for many
   years, it’s not something we can do any longer and remain sustainable. To keep
   the quality, maintain the development cost for the product, and increase the 
   features, we introduced the paid versions. However, [we are still providing Stats for free](https://jetpack.com/support/jetpack-stats/free-or-paid/)
   if a site a completely non-commercial.
 * You can get a 25% discount for your first purchase, by using the coupon code `
   JP_Stats25` at checkout, if that would help with the transition.
 * We appreciate the feedback and understand that this is not the outcome you were
   hoping for. We hope that Jetpack Stats can continue to provide value to your 
   site.
 * Please let us know if you have other questions or if there’s anything else we
   can do to help!
