You know something's wrong with your RSS reader when it has a support queue, and people are willing to pay for bumping to the front of it.

> The idea that because it's free it's above all criticism is simply unreasonable. Solution: shut down the free version. Addressing complaints from free users who demand things captures absolutely zero value when you're a struggling startup with too much else to do and limited resources still trying to make a viable business. Freemium doesn't work unless you're swimming in VC money and only care about user growth, no…
Shut down the free service and no one will get hooked to your product, and choose a another free service to start with, and maybe even pay for it later. Providing both free and payed tier is the way to go, especially in the commodity market segment like RSS readers, unless you are in a niche without too much competition.
Seems ironic to have a "lifetime" pro option, as its predecessor's lifetime was cut short.

There are plenty of reasons to prefer secure browsing by default. Perhaps I subscribe to feeds that would be flagged as "suspect" by programs like PRISM[1] and XKeyscore[2], and would like to make the NSA work at least a little bit to find that out.

So, then if it's that important to you, give the people giving you the cover of HTTPS some money, stop being a cheapskate.

And you can pay for that feature. I have no real stake in the game here, but I'm failing to see why that is a must-have feature for every user of the service.
I was wondering how long it would take for them to find a business model.
selling https access doesn't sound like a good one for me, this should be a basic feature with NSA and who knows who else listening in on everything.
