  1. Pay $0 to use a product from a business that is losing money
  2. Business makes a policy change to try to convince you their product is worth paying for, but still let's you use a version of it for FREE
  3. Wow this company sucks, I've given them nothing and they're taking everything away

In a capitalist society you speak with your money. It's the only language businesses speak. If you're not giving a company any money they're not going to cater their product to you, plain and simple.
