Why keep a fee history

Three reasons sellers ask for old rates: to reconcile an old payout, to see whether a platform’s fees drift up every year or move in rare jumps, and to judge an announcement against what came before it. Journalists and analysts need the same thing when a platform changes a rate and its own page no longer shows the previous one. The fee-change log covers the current year across every platform we track; these timelines go back further, one platform at a time.
