They’re not private at all, I’ve never been under the illusion that they were.
I like it, have some guts, stand on business. If people want to downvote they should be willing to attach their name to it, internet points are fake anyway.
“Water, don’t fish bukakke in that?”

I watched all kinds of scary stuff (thanks dad!) but that music creeped me the fuck out and still does!
You can already see them positioning themselves to start removing features with the phrase “free plan.”
Nothing stopping them from limiting the number of passwords available in “the free plan” or something, pressuring users into “the pay plan.”
