That is pretty much what it is. It's a one time changelog on update install. But I wanted to give something back for donations.
Closing that changelog (that only appears on browser restart, so the least intrusive time I hoped - as all extension changelogs do) is just one click
> Do what other developer's do
This extension likely has the largest database and traffic load of all extensions in the store. I.e. the highest costs to run
> There are other extensions that do the same thing
They all use my API. So if this extension dies - they all die too. This was one update message over 5 years of existence of the extension. Due to costs starting to exceed donations.
Unfortunatelly hosting ~12TB database with a load of ~20 million unique daily users costs some money. Donations died down and the extension would run out of money to function.
Existence of a new premium feature doesn't affect you in any way - you can still use it for free as you did before - and somebody else will pay to cover your costs. Isn't it a win-win?
