How can you trust any company you pay to stay up even if you are their customer? I've used discontinued products before. Paid subscriptions to companies that merge with others and the service no longer really exists.

The chances of a company that runs on mystical grants vs one that runs with actual customer money just suddenly going under are different.

It's like Google's stuff. It's free, but you're not the customer, you're the product.
