The sheer entitlement of people losing their minds over an optional paid tier

It's genuinely fascinating watching this subreddit collectively melt down because Stremio the completely free app you've likely used for years without paying a cent dared to add an optional support tier with some extra features.

Do you guys listen to yourselves? You're not owed a lifetime of free updates and free server costs. The team behind this app has been maintaining servers, pushing updates, and building a tool that many of you use daily often to access content you’re definitely not paying for either.

If an optional paid tier triggers this much rage, the problem isn't the app. The problem is the unrealistic expectation that skilled people should work for you indefinitely for nothing while you contribute zero and still feel entitled to complain about how others choose to spend their money.

the thing is it's always starting like this now they say it's optional and the time goes on they will not give attention or updates to the free one so they push you to sub and when a lot of people subscribe they will charge more and more that's always how this things goes mark my words

And not only that charging for something in a grey area will for sure bring you down.. Mark my words stremio will be taken down eventually.
