The contempt of their customers was overt in answers to questions posed in an online forum. The entire debacle has been very telling in terms of how the company views its users. The recent treatment of YNAB customers over the price hike really was just the icing on a very old cake. Testing before implementation feels good, man. YNAB didn't even know it was going on when its users first started complaining about it.

Appeals to fix the linking issues have gone on for years, with half-hearted fixes and a vendor change to Plaid.
