A great post from Maggie on the changes to WordPress plans!
NOTE: There seems to be some confusion about what plans are available. The documentation I see only shows two plans, others have been told that is not the case. I will update here if I learn more.
These two available plans seemingly impact only free users. Click on upgrades in your WordPress leftmost menu. If you are currently a paying customer, you may see other plan options.

I am a paying user and I am not satisfied with what they offer and then there are things I would like to add and have to pay more, the latter I don’t think so!

A Free option with 0.5 GB of storage is almost not worth bothering with fro most bloggers. I agree that WP seems to want to get rid of it completely.
Best wishes, Pete.
