    A LOT of people pay for that. I was flabbergasted as well. Why would you pay for a free service? This feels like buying premium bottled tap water and they don’t even bother to filter out the chlorine and the heavy metals.

      Why would you pay for a free service?

      If it were a charity or non-profit that would be one thing. Google is doing fine without your support though.

      Do you pay for Lemmy? Did you donate something? Or do you think you don’t need to, because it’s free?

        I’m sorry, I did not put this in the right words. I thought I already deleted the comment. But no yes yes.

      because it is not a free service, you are watching ads.

      I may accept it if it was not bundled with data mining. and if they wouldn’t constantly increase prices

      It started out incredibly cheap ($15 mo for six people), and includes a Spotify style music streaming service
