I'm cheap. I don't use Dropbox (I have some very old documents on there and will self-host a Nextcloud some time or even rent one)

I use Spotify with the ads. I learn to ignore the bad ads like ads on the radio. These are rarer.

When I work on a private project large enough for it to need a repo, I'd like it to be public, so I have no problem with Github.

I am however subscribed to Notion.so since yesterday, after running into the 1000 blocks limit after multiple months of using it. I considered for a long while, but found that it does provide good value over all.

This is by far my favorite model (and would probably get me to pay for Spotify): A good free plan that gets you addicted, but runs out after some time (Yes, like a trial, but I wouldn't actually like the feeling of that).

Thank you, happy to see confirmation in regards to the idea of "emotional connection" from the article.

Any lines that stood out for you?

I’m exactly the same! Starting paying for Notion once I’d received the value upfront and felt like paying was worth it.

Dropbox - still on free after getting lots of free space through promos

Spotify - family account

GitHub - paid for personal until the recent change

My takeaway, none of these freemium methods are “bad” but Notion felt the best as a consumer. I talk about Notion way more than the others and I believe their pricing model makes that possible

You didn't transfer any monetary value to them but surely helped them. That's a win-win. Amazing

You mean the fact that they're charging per member per month at the topmost level? Or simply the low delta between plans?

Spotify with ads also has terrible audio quality
