Well if they give it out for free (aka they pay for it), asking you to register is a reasonable ask. It's not a public service funded by taxpayers.

- freak42 1y agoYes they can ask, but do it at the beginning not the end of the process, this is a dark pattern and fucking annoying.
- magackame 1y agoAnyone remember those online psychological tests where you spend an hour on one and in the end you need to pay up to get the result?)))
- traceroute66 1y ago> do it at the beginning not the end Exactly this. If you present me with a form and a submit button then I expect the input to go through and a result to be presented. If you don't want to present me with results before login, then put the form behind the wall too. Simple.

- Saline9515 1y agoThose options are still not free. And giving a degraded version of your product to free users is a bad way to acquire clients.
