Didn't even know they had a free tier until yesterday. Is it any good? I've been using it with no issue on low data situations.

Yes, I know about the original dev political issues.

If you are a paying customer, it still doesn't mean you are not being sold as a product to someone else. This saying is too commonly spread and it's just a fallacy.

Also, there's very simple and straightforward examples of how even if you aren't a paying customer, you are not the product.
