If a free tier is offered, why would you be a leech? It’s calculated in their business and free users indirectly bring revenue (the more free users they have, the more they can convert). This concept of being a leech is so alien to me.
Probably because of torrenting I would imagine. Being a leech is kind of a dick move if you're able to seed.
This has nothing to do with torrenting apart from a similar sounding word.
