I looked into using freedom.to recently, because I am terrible for being easily distracted by the allure of websites (He said, posting on Lemmy while at work - stupid ADHD…), but I just can’t justify how much they’re charging.
£3 a month isn’t much, but it’s on top of other subscriptions I already have to creators whose work I enjoy, and streaming services my family use. And ultimately it’s £3 a month to not be able to access stuff, which doesn’t sit right with me. And yeah, I could pay once and have it forever, but that’s £85. That’s a lot of money to spend to try and have the same relationship with technology as ‘normal’ people.
I do use Cold Turkey sometimes, which has a free tier and is great, but that doesn’t extend to my phone/iPad.
