You can feel however which way you want. But, comparing it to paid services isn't fair..

In what world is it paid? I've used it for years and never gave them a dime. I decided to buy Nitro in the last year so that I can support the network. But, I was never held back from doing what I wanted to do because I didn't have nitro.

As someone who has hosted Team Speak servers. That shit isn't free.

If they're asking you to pay a subscription then they have a paid tier.

Having a paid tier and being a "paid service" aren't the same thing.

It seems like you don't maybe know what you're talking about. If the service is available for free but there is a paid tier (like Twitch) then that's still a paid tier. Just because it's not providing the exact same features for the payment means nothing.
