Yeah, I was going to quote that same part. Getting more users is great, but you're still left with the question of how to monetize them. I'm a pretty hardline user experience idealist, I hope to never host an ad on any site I run, but still, you have to be able to monetize to keep the business afloat. Whether Slate is doing just that, or actually being greedy, I don't know, but I understand the reasoning for enhancing the experience for paid users, which unfortunately inherently results in a somewhat gimped free plan.
