I was actually using their free tier for awhile (the Pro version didn't have any extra feature that I personally needed anyway). But when they pulled this bullshit counting on how useless the free tier will be and basically forcing the upgrade, I replaced them in like 5 minutes.

Yep, exactly. I have no problem with gentle reminders to check out pro features. Or maybe a recommendation engine ("Refer 10 of your friends to us and we'll give it to you for free"). Or making it clear to new users that the service tiers are now different and grandfathering-in the legacy free tier (like Gsuite used to do). There's any of a dozen possibilities that allows you to monetize your service without antagonizing long-time users (if you believe LastPass really had an unsustainable ratio of free to paying customers, which I actually don't, I think they're just trying to milk it). Adding spyware/trackers to a privacy-centric app and forcing customers to "pay up or leave" at a moment's notice, nah, there is no good excuse for that.
