Junk fees going up- guess they have to make up the low fares somehow (I could have sworn that at one point, the fees were $75). Most of my fares are low enough that I guess I'd just throw away the fare.

The part where you have to pay a $75 fee to redeposit points from an F fare purchased with Elevate points is pretty ... especially since you'd have to be flying a LOT on VX to have enough points to get a VX F fare in the space 18 months, so it strikes me as pretty customer-hostile, but hey, gotta make money somehow, and nickeling and diming for fees is a great way to do that.
