Does anyone out there use the issuu platform as a publishing tool? I use issuu.com to circulate my free online magazine BETA developments in photography to the readership. My current level of service historically has cost around AU$750 a year. Issuu have just informed me that they have unilaterally restructured their offerings, scrapping my current plan altogether and upgrading me to the new 'ultimate' plan and now request payment of AU$5300 a year, ostensibly because now they are offering a range of (spurious) extra services that I don't need, nor expect I will ever need, nor I expect 80% of their current users will ever need.
It's incredibly frustrating when tech companies such as this seem all to be wannabe billionaires that give little heed or regard to those customers who helped them to build those businesses in the first place. If anyone has a suggestion as to an alternative platform that operates in a similar reasonably priced form please let me know. 💩💩💩
