It's awesome. After using it free for years, I recently became a paid subscriber as a show of support.

$10/yr is not a big price for what you get. I don't think I even use the extra features you get with the subscription, but supporting the maintenance and development of a product I would like to use for years to come is important.

Agreed. I like that the free version works well. The lack of pressure or nagging toward paying is what gets me to want to pay. I usually avoid subscriptions.

I usually self host but the fact that the option is there and I can use it any time in the future is the main reason i use BW and kick them a bit of money. And not bring nagged or forced to subscribe is a major factor for me as well.

I'm a paying user of Proton "unlimited" and they still shove ads down my throat.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Protonmail? Never seen an ad even on the free plan. Of course, I have UBO so I don't see ads anywhere.

There's an ad at the upper right of my inbox right now. And UBO won't block it because it's from Proton. I also have to go and disable the "sent from Proton" ad every time I log in with a new device.

10 bucks per year is a small price to pay to support good business

[-] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 2 points 9 months ago

Honestly, I have been thinking of doing the same. I really don't require any of their premium features and am getting it to show my support.

$10/yr is dirt cheap for something so important in our online life.
