I certainly understand the business side of the game, but I'm gobsmacked as to why a secondary "tier level league" can't be added to keep F2Pers involved longer. I posted before about Gold-Silver-Bronze leagues that allow only cards at that level and below, and teams that have spent zero on PT points. Yes, I know, the company wouldn't make anything off such a structure - but maybe 5,000 teams that quit playing after July would remain active well into the Winter, and word would get out that PT is even fun for F2Per's.
But alas, few listen and even fewer care. Easier to just accept PT is a March to July game for F2Per's and move on to something else after July. I still love the classic game, and that's where I'm at now.

I dunno. I agree with your overall assessment, but I do better than Bronze. My #1 and #3 teams are still in Gold despite being largely ignored for the last six weeks. I set them up for the week and only check in to collect rewards. #4 is my new team, which is in Silver this week and leading the division. Anxiously awaiting the next Negro League set, as I have every Set 3 card except Satchel and that other shortstop. Also clinging to a shot at PTCS with enough 2-8 finishes to qualify as of now. The falloff is inevitable at some point, but I managed to keep at least one team in Diamond throughout last year and might do it again. We'll see. It's not like it costs me anything.
