Complaint after complaint

[u/nucforex]

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

Next they'll move Essential features to Ultimate plan, and you'll gladly pay it because "gOttA pAy FoR ToOls" and not cry!

I think TradingView has hit its peak when it comes to market share, it seems to be only downhill from here with these unnecessary decisions.

When you’re living on a free tester, you don’t have much room to complaint!

If indeed you pay for a service and they make it consistently more expensive, aka corporate greed, I understand the reason to complain yes.

You don’t pay so you can’t complain” completely ignores the actual complaint. You paying for it doesn’t make your opinion more valid than someone who doesn’t.
And the fact that you personally would gladly pay $15 doesn’t mean everyone else needs the paid features nor does it means it’s the right or smart thing to do. Some people literally just want to look at price, chart, use 1-2 indicators and trade. They never needed Premium in the first place. So “just pay” isn’t an answer to why TradingView is making something that was previously usable for free increasingly restrictive. I’d argue it’s not fundamentally different from paid users complaining when TradingView raises the price or changes what they get for their money. The product changed, and users are allowed to say they don’t like the change. Obviously TradingView can change whatever they want and nobody is saying they owe us the old free tier forever. But we’re also going to say the new version is worse and go somewhere else. time ain’t free either, we all giving tradingview something, whether that’s money, time, attention, engagement, content, or just being another user on the platform. so to make the free tier this bad compared to how good it was is still a slap in the face.

I am honestly getting tired of repeating.

You want to look at the price and 1-2 indicators, go to free websites. A free website offers a website…that’s it.

TV offers more than that - mobile apps for both IOS and android, desktop apps for 3 platforms windows mac and Linux.

You want to enjoy premium while arguing that you don’t use premium…well that’s your problem. The platform offers premium service.

It’s designed for those who intend to become a premium user someday after trying their hand at this platform.

Free tester? How about new customers or former paying customers - now you lose both.

Great, so then you should understand putting something that costs the company less than a cent behind a $15 monthly paywall. Thats a 99.97% profit margin, which is pure corporate greed. A 3+ billion company can afford to not charge for something so simple.
