Didn’t even know they had a free tier until yesterday. Is it any good? I’ve been using it with no issue on low data situations.

Yes, I know about the original dev political issues.

      No. You really should apply context. This isa very clear example of a limited service that’s meant to convince you to buy the full offering.

      Sometimes it’s free to make you lock into their ecosystem.

      Once you have an account with them, there is less of a barrier to solve a problem you have by purchasing their service, especially when you feel like you got a lot of value for free from that company.

      If you are a paying customer, it still doesn’t mean you are not being sold as a product to someone else. This saying is too commonly spread and it’s just a fallacy.

      Also, there’s very simple and straightforward examples of how even if you aren’t a paying customer, you are not the product.

      It’s a heavily limited free tier to promote their paid offering, in this case I don’t think that phrase is accurate.
