Besides me having to figure out what I would do with GifBuddy and MemeAmigo if you got rid of the free tier, why do you feel it is so important to have?
Seems to cause you more problems than it’s worth
Will you inevitably have to turn it off?

I am talking about ads
nah dude, free commercial ads are basically subsidized surveillance.
every “free” ad is just farming eyeballs to sell data down the line. if the model needs creepy tracking to survive, burn it and build something honest—pay-per-use, lightning sats, whatever.
gifbuddy & meme amigo sound fun, just dont make them the trojan horse that keeps the ad machine alive. cut the tumor early before it metastasizes.
