Discussion on: What paid services do you use?

None. Everything should be free 🙂

There's so many open source projects for every domain of life that can help you.

I heard this phrase and it stuck with me:

"If you don't pay, you're the perfect customer."
From Tom Scott video on VPNs

But yeah, I know where you are going. There is most likely a free and OSS alternative for most stuff.

You can create your website for nothing. Just to pay the domain per year and it's good. Hosted with GitHub or other and pass into a serverless 🙌🏼

There are free domains too. Namely .la, .md and .ag

Yeah but I not recommend free NDD because isn't better for SEO 😁

Everything should be free?

One of the issues with Open source projects:

But I think it all comes down to what your time is worth :)

If I can pay 3$/ month for a todo list app I would happily do that than spend hours trying to set it up and manage it myself :)

I'm grateful to be tech literate and a proficient developer. Using open source software is quite fast and efficient in my case :-)
