Then they should have made it optional instead of mandatory.

I get that they want to starting bringing different WP.com services together. But, it should be an option to do so. Most WooCommerce users are paying customers - some paying dearly. To just screw us around like this is ... well, "insulting" comes to mind. So does "bad business."

I'll likely be terminating my account as a result. If they have no respect for me as a consumer, why should I have respect for them as a business?
