Jamkazam is moving onto Paid Subscriptions. Donors and volunteers' thoughts?

I just tried opening Jamkazam on my mobile device and found the updated jamkazam webpage showing planned monthly pricing for a number of subscription tiers. 

This seems a little cheeky given that they have raised a lot of money from folk via GoFundMe, and the GoFundMe page is still open and taking donations. See https://uk.gofundme.com/f/cy2fsq-keep-ja...-improving

Are they going to give an unlimited sub to those who've donated, or cut them off and ask for more money?

Similarly, all those folk who've been helping them test and develop - do they get nothing in return?

All seems like a start-up strategy from the founder, David Wilson, to improve the value of his investment.  Time to switch back to Jamulus which is open source and maintained (for free) by a bunch of keen volunteers.  Jamulus is client/server so it works better if people are spread around the place - it also scales better because you just have the one connection to the server, irrespective of how many are jamming.  Of course it means the server placement is critical - but it works well on Amazon's free tier hosting.
