Summary
You've triggered a mass creator exodus by stacking three simultaneous trust demolitions: the new non-disintermediation clause in ToS feels anti-creator, the Pro price tripled from $5 to $15 per month with zero feature lift, and the feed is now 1-in-18 organic posts, forcing creators into pay-to-play. One customer nailed it: the platform is "mostly aesthetic customization for the profile," not actual reach. The cancellation UX itself is weaponized retention, a "Roach Motel" of multi-step friction. You're not losing price-sensitive users; you're losing the core creators who built your community.
Priority Action
Immediately reverse the non-disintermediation clause in the 2025 ToS or publish a public clarification that creators retain full IP rights and can promote work off-platform. This single policy change is cited alongside all pricing complaints and signals loss of creator confidence in platform motives.
Financial impact
At your current churn rate, you're losing approximately $4,114/mo in recurring revenue.

Fix: Restructure Pro tier to include measurable audience-growth features or roll back the $5-to-$15 increase to $8-10 with a 60-day lock-in for existing subscribers. The feedback explicitly contrasts the old $5 price with new $15 as indefensible for 'aesthetic customization.' Offer a 30-day trial at the old $5 rate to re-convert lapsed creators, paired with a feature roadmap showing new reach tools.
