Yeah, plus given you can get pro for free it really seems more like a announcement than an ad. Slippery slope though.

What's an ad if not a commercial announcement?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I guess it doesn't seem as much of an ad if it's something free they're promoting. As it would be for most users.

It's a commercial offering with a free tier.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes and most users would be in the free tier

So it's still an ad to a product, or it's not?
