I am sharing my feedback that I am tired of seeing "Legacy" on everything. I should never have bought anything on this site. The search no longer works, and directs me to duplicates republishings. I could go on but obviously this is like shouting in the wind.

The Legacy versions of some races and monsters you see are the versions printed in Volo's and Mordenkainen's, which got a refresh in Monsters of the Multiverse. People still want to use the old versions in some cases, which is why the Legacy tag is there.
The search function being awful is true though. It's a well-known problem.

Leaving OGL 1.0(a) untouched and making SRD 5.1 CC-BY-4.0 is a great first step. The next is a promise to do the same for future editions. Here's a discussion thread on that.
Legacy is absolutely helpful, and I'm glad DnDBeyond has ensured access to previously published content. As Z3DT mentioned, the new publications changed Volo's and Mordenkainen's, which IMHO were much better than the Monsters of the Multiverse direction of generalizing everything. I still use the old content about 90% of the time if there is duplicate information, so DnDBeyond is doing players/DMs a great service by keeping this information active for everyone to use as needed. I applaud that decision and feel like the team at least cares about giving it's users maximum flexibility to make their play experience as personal and flexible as possible.
Monsters of the Multiverse is setting agnostic, meaning incompatible with official settings, meaning cannot be used in any campaign set in an official like Forgotten Realms.

This isn't what setting agnostic means and the monsters found in Monsters of the Multiverse can totally be used in adventures set in the Forgotten Realms, as well as any other setting.

Yeah. Setting agnostic means that the setting book needs only to state that "Orcs in this world are generally X and Y, and the orcs of the lands of Foo are Z and Q as well", rather than having to first disestablish all the things that their orcs aren't.
As someone who got access to content late, i'm absolutely appalled I can't get access to some legacy content, as I'm essentially paying the same amount for an inferior product.
For those of us who want to use legacy content, we essentially are screwed, even if we're willing to pay for it. Which tells me my money is better spent paying someone who actually has access to the older content and discontinuing my service.
Any legacy content you want access to you can still use by use of the homebrew tools. For free, even.
It's not the best possible solution, but it suffices.

Thats... literally the opposite of what agnostic means.

How's that work? The legacy content are entirely separate purchases, anything you bought in terms of bundles didn't include them in the cost. You're not essentially paying the same amount, you're paying for the content you have access to. And if you can find the books in print, they're still out there in the physical marketplace AFAIK, you can homebrew them if you'd like.

You're not "screwed", if you got a jones for legacy content so bad that their analogs in MMM don't do it for you for whatever reason, you can get access through content sharing and make homebrew for personal use. That would actually be an advantage or perk of continuing the service, but it sounds like you're confusing content with subscription plans.

Well I came to the forums to make my first post about this, as this is not true. Monsters of the Mutliverse did not give us updated Tieflings. Yet the Tome of Foes Tieflings are flagged as Legacy and thus can't be purchased anymore.

DDB is great, but it could be better. Here are some things I think could improve DDB
