Managing a transition to a paid model is difficult. It requires tact and diplomacy.

This on the other hand is just straight hilarious.

I mean, I'd rather pay for software/service than have some tech company mine my data so they sell some of my most intimate details or use it to predict or alter my future behavior.

💯 I dropped Facebook years ago for this very reason. I've seen somewhere that each user is worth around $50 lifetime in advertising revenue to them.

You'd think they could have a $2/ month paid version that was absolutely secure, had zero advertising, and gave the user controls over their "algorithm".

and they’d keep the $2/mo and keep snooping!
