Every single screenshot I've seen in another thread said they were terminating free accounts and please send us payment information if you want to continue.
I haven't seen a thing suggesting they are charging anyone without their consent, or issuing invoices.
Several people noted that an account that's a decade old isn't going to have a valid credit card on it. Yes, of course, that's why they're asking people to pay, so what's the big deal?
If this is not a weird circle of mass hysteria, is there something that explains why people went ballistic?
Nobody, to be clear, that I noticed, was angry specifically about losing free access and many people were saying they hadn't used the thing in years. It was all freaking out about impending fraudulent charges.
