They are going to keep making it worse for Pro user

It’s becoming clear that Perplexity doesn't actually care about its Pro users. I’ve used the platform for years, and while it used to be perfect for what I needed to do, they keep making it worse. First, they removed the referral bonuses, then they started locking specific models behind a paywall, and now they’ve introduced file upload limits.

It feels like they are intentionally degrading the Pro tier to force us into a "Max" subscription. Has anyone found a reliable alternative to Perplexity?
