    That’s not what Grandfathered means. Basically, original subscribers are being forced onto a new contract.

      Thank you. I was thoroughly confused by this title and the article’s use of “grandfathered”.

      My understanding of grandfathered is that you pay the rate you signed up for, and when it increases, new users pay the higher rate but you keep your rate as long as you stay subscribed. If that is not what you think grandfathered means, what does it mean to you? And if my definition matches yours, how is this not the correct use of grandfathered?

        You both got it right, but OP got it wrong. They’re not grandfathered if they’re getting the price increase, and they are.
