"Yeah. It's largely because when the Memberships program launched the Argentine peso was worth about 20x what it is today. And the way they launched the system (giving creators pricing control) they didn't have built-in inflation adjustments for local currencies as the way in which it's built is essentially a singular lifetime product price. So in order to update pricing/adjust for currency exchange rates you need to delete and recreate. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020177871700930865 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020177871700930865"
