Some of these recommendations are kinda wack...

BlueSky but no mention of Mastodon?
Deezer is primarily owned by an American investment fund
Tuta is actively enshittifying
ReVanced is still YouTube you're just adding a middleman
HERE WeGo's website doesn't even load atm but where is OpenStreetMap and its thousands of frontends?

I agree with all of those remarks except the last because the here we go app imo is the best google maps replacement

Every once in a while theyโ€™ll send you an email with special CSS styling so you canโ€™t avoid seeing it and you canโ€™t unsubscribe from it. They call it a newsletter. Itโ€™s advertising. Itโ€™s less news and more begging you to buy more of their stuff. Very occasionally theyโ€™ll bump new features onto a higher tier but still show that feature in your UI, with special CSS styling. God forbid if they try to upgrade your account but you deny because youโ€™re happy with the features you have now and the amount you pay; they push harder and harder the longer youโ€™re on a โ€˜legacyโ€™ tier.

It happened to me. Itโ€™ll happen to you.
