Mint holds a place in my heart because we were basically neighbors. I lived a block away on the same street as their old Mountain View office. I remember being impressed when I first tried it, and even applied for a job there, but never heard back.
Over time, my account connections started to rot, and as banks got acquired and accounts changed, data got glitchy, and I started seeing duplicate transactions. For a while, I'd diligently re-categorize transactions, hoping some sort of basic ML would learn from my updates, but it never did. My account fell into disrepair, and the information it offered became inaccurate and noisy. Over time, I just lost interest.
I said I applied for a job there. I was never sold on their business model, and their suggestions to me never made any sense. At the same time, all the $100 per year replacements people are suggesting also make no sense.
Mint offered an incredible product, especially for its time, but I'm not sure if there's a business there.
