As a hardcore roll20 hater, I’m not too happy about this. Hopefully this at least makes R20 better and demiplane won’t just be killed off in 6 months.

That’s no reason to hate anything. You just mentioned there are alternatives, just switch to them.
P.S. I am very skeptic of any claim that any TTRPG product making money have over first these days. Especially one with a functional free tier.
We did. I still hate roll20.
And I’m trying to understand why.
Let me make a comparison. I like Fari as a Fate VTT. Fari is limited to the point of being “bad”, but I still like it for what it provides for free and how they interact with their community. It’s likely related to me preferring to play theater of the mind and using VTT to share art, simplify skill rolls/ math, other stuff that makes the session go smoother.
For that level of requirements, Roll20, Role, Foundry, all offer a decent package.
What is it about Roll20 that rubs you the wrong way enough to elicit hate? Just not updating the product?
We used roll20, and it sucked, and ruined the experience in a lot of our sessions. You’re all like role playing, getting into it, and you can’t cast your spells because of roll20. We put money into it, buying shit for our games. They put money into youtuber sponsorships instead of improving the platform. It’s personal. You finally get 4h of overlapping free time on a Friday and the adventure won’t load. Do you understand now? We switched, but we still hate it. Knowing that they still haven’t improved years later just feels like “yeah that’s about right”. Fuck roll20.
