Suggestion to add clearer caveats to privacy tool recommendations

The argument that no one could misunderstand this or think it works that way is weakened not only by people thinking that, but because you also can apparently keep receiving alias emails in some services.
Like with simple login:
When your subscription ends, all aliases you created continue working normally, both on receiving and sending emails. Concretely:
- All aliases/domains/directories/mailboxes you have created are kept and continue working normally.
- You cannot create new aliases if you exceed the free plan limit, i.e. have more than 10 aliases.
I think this does mean you could not only sub for one month and switch all your accounts over, but you could also make eg 500 placeholder alias and continue to use them for new accounts. Not that I’d do this when it isn’t their intent and duckduckgo voluntarily offer unlimited, but “what happens when sub expires” can be impacted by various situations and policies.
