What a sad time. Pour one out.

As someone paying for my own usage, the transition from a time of plenty, of eager happy use of my subscription, to begrudingly pulling the token-dispenser handle from the token machine, knowing each query costs me: this is a majorly sad transition to see happen. I thought we'd get at least a year of subscriptions being a joyous amazing thing, but no, already the hand that giveth doth taketh away.
