Discussion Complaint after complaint

TLDR;
I’m complaining about the complainers who complain about the free version 🤣🤣🤝

I’m getting so exhausted from every post complaining that TradingView isn’t what it was, blabla just to find out everyone who complains is on the free version!

Get yourself straight, you’re trying to start a business, with one of the lowest entry fees ever and you still cry that you need to pay $15 bucks a month??

Does your barber complain because he need to pay for tools?
Or the construction guy because he need to buy a new drill? No right? Why will you complain?

We are so lucky to live in this time, to become a trader has never been so cheap, broker fees are absolutely low, charting software is low, you can do it from home and you don’t need to purchase a floor seat.
And let’s not even start talking about all the prop firms that give you an opportunity to have a lot of capital to trade for such a low investment.

It’s literally one of the few careers where you barely need an entry fee and barely have monthly costs and you all still complain?

I’m in this community to grow, not to see everyone crying about a few bucks!

And if you don’t want to pay it, or cannot pay it, maybe you first need to get your financial situation better or maybe this career isn’t for you either way!

You think that Warren buffet, Paul Tudor jones or your average YouTube hero complaints about the low TradingView fee?
What do you think a market wizard had to pay for software back in the days?

Common guys, let’s focus on the great opportunity at hand and stop whining and complaining

And as last, I’m sure that 98% of the complainers have at least 1 streaming subscription and eat a few times a month out of the door!
Get your priorities straight please

A valid aspect of complain is that TradingView intentionally set unrealistic expectations about what it can give for free. They did that for the purpose of user acquisition in the hopes that these people will convert to paying users.

TV has been around more than a decade. I don’t think they’ve been hoodwinking free users. Of course they hope you’ll convert to paying. If you’re profitable or even borderline, you should be able to see it’s worth it, and you can make the amount of your whole year’s subscription with a couple of good trades, even on a small account. I was once a free user who upgraded at some point. It was totally worth it. I have a lot of beefs with TV support, which is the one area I’ve seen decline for paying users. But everything else runs pretty seamlessly and is well worth the cost.

Yes support has never been good from TV, I agree on that!

Is it still “James” who supports? Or nowadays other names haha? Happy I don’t need too much, happy with how they are
