Benefits of 1k now vs. 5 years ago
What have they added of value? What value have they taken away or discontinued?
For example:
As a 1k United no longer offers paid global entry fees
United now offers a free snack box/item or alcoholic drink ^
What are your thoughts and opinions of where this program is headed and potential added value or devaluation?

1Ks used to be able to change awards freely - now its severly restricted to all segments being available as an award. A major loss, pretty much taking away this benefit for 1Ks

This is more about the change to award bookings overall than a change for 1Ks. Everyone is stuck with the same new rules and the fee for 1Ks did not change (unlike for Platinums).
