Ever heard the phrase, “Buyer beware?” The onus of investigating a product, or a seller’s claim, is on you, before you spend your money on their product.
This is usually what most claims of false advertising boil down to. The dev team’s and your idea of the “core product” don’t align, which, yes, does suck, but just like before, it’s just a matter of time before you’ll get what you wanted anyway. Besides, you got lifetime, so it’s not like you’re wasting money during the wait. It’s just as worthwhile of an investment now as it would be in a year or two’s time.
A lot of us have bought into BunPro with that very mindset: it’s an investment, and less of an outright purchase. We’re here to see it grow, not because everything we wanted was there out of the gate when we signed up for our subscriptions. There’s a lot of stuff that a lot of us would love for them to focus on making, but we’re not demanding that they focus on it immediately. The needs and workflows of the community here are diverse, and very few people complain when dev attention goes to features that some of us don’t care about, because it’s implicitly understood that everyone here learns differently and one person’s untouched feature is another person’s lifeline to learning.
Furthermore, as other people here have mentioned, the BunPro team works at a blistering pace and is incredibly responsive to its community, especially when compared to other similar platforms. Even with the crazy pace of their work, though, there is a lot for them to get through, and much like a person learning the language, the people teaching it must also solidly construct their foundations before moving onto more complex content. This naturally extends to the order they “polish up” their content in, as well.
Regardless of all that, though: no amount of money, nor the circumstances under which you spent it, grant you the privilege of dictating how this team prioritizes their work. Buying someone’s product doesn’t make your their boss, and telling these folks what they “need” to be doing and when they “need” to have it done by not only reflects poorly on you as a customer and a community member, but is very unlikely to actually have any positive effect or help you achieve what you want at all.
