Overthinking

The change is really understandable and I welcome it. Now the question is, what would help you more, immediate money if I quickly re-subscribe to keep the old price, or to get the fair price next time my subscription is about to end? :-)

Okay, I'm probably overthinking this.

I expanded my subscription without a single second of hesitation ;)

I recently (before the announcement) renewed for the next year. Is there a way to upgrade that to the new, higher rate? Basically, I want to give you more money without waiting for next year.

Other than changing to a different subscriber level there's not a lot of options, sorry. The best path is probably to just relax for a year and know that we truly appreciate your support!

My subscription was monthly, it expired yesterday, and I just renewed at the higher price and at a higher level.

Thank you LWN, keep up the good work!
