Why is study.com screwing over it's long-standing customers?

You should call them- that's a big difference. Ask for the new customer price.

That's what I would recommend as well, is to contact them and ask for a better price, not just the new customer price.
Hopefully they're reading your thread and making decisions to make it better for you in the end.

I sent them a message through my account.

Another option is, if the courses are not used for credit, is to continue with the "cheaper subscription" and then use
the "new customer price or cheaper" option for extra features, it'll be cheaper than what they currently offer you.
