It sounds like you're facing a major dilemma regarding the use of platforms and the direction you want to take as a leader.
It is admirable that you are willing to make personal sacrifices for the good of your project and to set a good example.
The decision to change interfaces and possibly not renew your premium subscription shows your commitment to your own values and the project you lead.
Although it may be difficult to miss out on some short-term benefits, in the long run, your dedication and consistency will surely be rewarded.
Much success with The BBH Project.
