I stopped paying for their service as I was broke and they kept billing my account leading to several insufficient funds fees on an overdrawn account that they wouldn't stop billing. Can't say I'd even use their service for free.

This doesn't really sound like it was their fault.

This smells like an app that will be shutting down in about six months.

Brian from Instapaper here. We have no plans to shut the app down, and a big part of the value the app provides (parser improvements, aggregate information on links) requires the ongoing operation of the service.
