Selfish, but I was mad at myself that they made it free just a couple or so months after I paid for it. As a college student, I resented them a whole bunch for it because I was on the fence for a little over a year before pulling the trigger only for them to make it free (and I didn’t feel like I could have got my moneys worth because of that). If only I had waited a smidgeon longer!

Glad they are making it open source now though.

At least we got grandfathered into the premium plan. 5€ for something that is usually 10€/year.

How did you get this? I paid for it years ago but I have never heard of a discount?

If you had purchased Pocket Casts ($2.99USD?) and Pocket Casts Plus ($9.00USD) before the freemium model was introduced, you were eventually given "Lifetime Member" status and are not required to pay a recurring fee to use Pocket Casts Plus.

History of the kerfuffle here:
