Has anyone noticed that certain things which used to be free to view on ancestry as long as you had a membership are now being charged a seperate fee outwith ancestry???

Such as public trees and sending messages?  I gather they stopped being free about the time they shutdown Mundia, although I'm happy to stand corrected.
So it wasn't my imagination then.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.
