  "textContent": "Subscribe to the thing you actually need, is within your budget, and that provides an ongoing service. You can pay for one year and cancel if you don’t want reocurring subscriptions.\n\nThis seems easy enough to me. It’s no different than paying for anything else. I don’t subscribe to services I won’t use or that are outside my budget, but this is specific to my needs and income. Other people should act according to theirs.\n\nI also wouldn’t necessarily stick to free tier if it’s sufficient, in the same way I wouldn’t go to a grocery store to eat the free samples while planning to leave without buying anything.\n\nEven if they are a nonprofit who say the samples are there as a service to the community (like Proton), you want there to continue to be not only samples there but also a store in general. We established it’s a needed service, after all.\n\nIf I suddenly got a lot more money then I would subscribe to a lot more than I do now, but as things are I am thankful for the free tiers.",
