Yesterday I was using a website to generate a logo (not mentioning them they don’t deserve any publicity), and after entering the details, refining what to emphasize on, description, my email and logo requirements, they generated some and refused to show it unless I pay, not just signing up.. literal scumbags, why would I pay before even seeing the logo ffs, what if I didn’t like it? How about all the time and details I put there?!

- chongli 3y agoThey just released a new version too! A bunch of really nice features! Long live native desktop software (FOSS and perpetual licensed proprietary)! SAAS-ified desktop apps and subscription software can’t disappear fast enough, if you ask me. I think most of it will, besides the big players (Adobe and Autodesk), because it relies too heavily on traffic from Google (slowly drowning in SEO spam).

- mcmcdtx 3y agoThis really isn't the same thing because you know how stores work. The whole argument here is that these websites aren't being upfront about what they expect from you. If you said "sign up for a free account and you can get some samples" we walk into the situation with eyes open and that is not what this article is complaining about.
