    I keep seeing free apps getting worse to push users to paid plans, all while still advertising themselves as free to use.

      Okay, but what is the solution? I see a lot of whining from consumers about how expensive and enshittified everything is, yet very few people seem to be willing to donate to/pay for the few alternatives that exist. They vote for the same entrenched political parties in their countries (or don't vote at all). They don't get involved in activist movements. Why are we expecting the system and/or the outcomes to magically change when all we are willing to contribute is crying on social media?

        I paid for Boost!, definitely worth it. IMO: it's the best Lemmy app.
