    Making a free tier.

      I don’t know what makes you think this would be a “free tier”; it’d just in all likelihood be an even more enshittified, slightly-less-money-flushed-down-the-toilet-for-an-inferior-product tier. https://archive.ph/mwfWY

      It’s never just a “free tier” unfortunately. Most times these headlines pop up, it’s “We’re increasing our base subscription cost, but don’t worry! You can keep paying the old price if you’re ok with ads.”

        Paying for ads is a terrible idea companies have forced into the narrative, without users really caring.

        I choose not to pay for ads.

          Yeah, if I’m paying but forced to watch ads I’ll drop the subscription, fuck that.

      That’s how it starts.
