Ugh. I have been a happy paying customer for many years now. I went all in on 1p specifically because they didn't do shit like this. When a CEO says things like "we need to grow aggressively" I hear "we need to find ways to foist new trash features no one asked for upon our users and then ignore them to get the big enterprise bucks". Time after time I see great products get ruined by that mindset. See Dropbox. See Evernote.
There are open source solutions that are nearly as good as 1p. I guess its time to start evaluating. Man I _just_ got my partner to starting using 1p too...
