Lifetime accounts are to be taken with a grain of salt. They have an ongoing cost and the company may go out of business.
Has a single thing in history that has ongoing cost actually fulfill a lifetime guarantee for say… 30 years or more?
These days 10 years before they rug pull is still a pretty good run.
That’s why they won’t be doing this again. They are officially retiring the lifetime plan now. In the future, the company will be pivoting towards reoccurring revenue. Lifetime plans are ok when the company is new and expanding. In the long run, that strategy won’t cut it any more, so that’s why they won’t be doing this again.
And this transparency kinda gives me hope they can continue offering their service to make lifetime worthwhile.
But obviously we can't know for sure.
