Nothing is off with the comments, you're trying to convince all of us that you should continue getting service after your subscription ends. You're being very unprofessional by demanding free service, and then accusing people who point out this fact as paid shills.
I asked earlier if your company continues giving away product to ex-customers, and you haven't answered yet.
Do you give away product for free to ex-customers? I wanna know if you do, so that I know where I can signup, pay once, end the subscription and still get your service for free.
C'mon - you've thrown some accusations around here, you may as well answer the question.
Ok let me answer your stupid sponsored rhetorical question, on the off chance you aren't a shill. And you are a shill.
Yes, if the contract states on termination no access to a cloud resource, that's the deal. Technically they're within the rules they laid out and we agreed to, except that they held onto data they do not own after termination.
There are two issues. First, this is a trust me story. A company that pulls this trick can do it one single time. We will never pay them another cent, and will tell everyone that will listen exactly what they did. Their contract has a clause to fuck the customer, and they use it. Lastpass are done, and they know it. This is a "fuck the last standing customer" clause to milk what's left of a resold company with a collapsing user base and a broken outdated business model.
Second, they kept our companies sensitive secret and essential-for-operations data and refuse to give us a copy unless we pay the resubscription fee (ransom). That's a state where a terminated contract leaves them with secret customer data, and now they want a payoff. Their contract doesn't excuse them from breaking the law. That data should've been deleted, if not, it has to be accessible by law to the owner. It's Right of Access.

You are not answering the question, which is "Does your company provide service to ex-customers?"
*YES* it does. If we’ve taken their money in the past we’ll certainly help them, even if they’re migrating to another platform. Good business also means closing a relationship well. Then there’s an opportunity for future business, and even if they decide not to return, the personal relationships are of the highest value. You can’t see the forest for the trees. Wealth is not just about money. Successful long term strategies rest squarely on your ability to maintain relationships.
I'll bet there's a service running to protect brands from the lens of HN. They'll pay a monthly fee, and fake users with enough karma flag out unflattering stories.
Something is very off here. Where's dang when you need him?

You're repeatedly making very serious accusations here, especially serious as you can see from my open comment history that I am not shilling. Are you sure you want Dang to join the conversation[1]?
I think if you post enough mentioning @dang, he might show up. I don't know if that works though - you can try.
