Well that is pretty bad IMO. What's the point of sharing it if people can't access it? And I don't think there is even an option to pay for personal accounts.

It was a wonderful community-driven service and they basically canned the whole community, and moved to focus on commercial users. I think that's very bad. Even the site is totally useless now. Only crap news and some basic weather reports but it's very hard to find anything community generated.

What's worst though is that no alternative emerged. I had expected that to happen. It's sad that community alternatives always end up selling out. The same with ADS-B Explorer.

The web-based “history” tool’s content and usability has been significantly reduced, as well. You used to be able to view and download a lot of detailed hourly data - now it’s reduced to things like daily summaries when selecting long time ranges.
