I've never really got into Day One - I know it had a lottttt of fans, but it never felt like the right tool for the job for me. If I was going to write in something like that, why not just a synced text file or something of that ilk? That was the question I could never get past to want to use it.
That said, I can imagine how frustrating this change would be. At least existing users will keep their status instead of losing features they already have.
I suspect part of the problem is that they're a cross-platform app servicing mobile as well as desktop users; app development is notably hard to make financially sustainable, and the bulk of non- or low-paying users might well cause a burden that would make their services unsustainable.
