Even "No thanks" is fine!
Are the signups you get really worth driving away most first-time visitors?
That being said, this is a super helpful list!
An obviously bad monetization strategy is more of a warning sign than no monetization strategy at all.
They were very popular until they went out of business.
They weren't cheap either! I think €99 or even €199, but don't remember well. It was around 8 years ago.
I would suggest moving the source column on the table. At first I found it hard to read as the primary data I'm looking for is the service, not the source.
Also, remove your obnoxious newsletter popup, especially with the "No thanks, i hate to save money" dismiss...
Long story short I decided to buy a service called Windscribe 2 years ago anyway after reading some reddit replies (it's a lifetime deal) and so far my experience has been amazing. It's actually better than some monthly paid services I've used and the only service that allows me to watch Netflix US. So exceptions are there though it's only been 2 years using them.. so fingers crossed!
It also tries to spin up the GPU, ruining battery life.
I am curious if you've actually tried all of these, or if you're just going with whatever offers affiliate money, because a decent number are either pretty much ad-packed open source projects being sold with a windows GUI/the type of stuff you see on clickbank with a landing page that looks like spam/actual garbage/run by criminals.
That said I will generally avoid ‘award winning’ software I’ve never heard of (after buying one Appsumo product I realised the software was a dud) and I also avoid any critical services (lifetime 10Tb cloud backup for $5... no way)
* Thanks, but I hate saving money
Got this full-screen popup with no close button not 5 seconds in. This is not acceptable. It’s obnoxious and disrespectful.
Flagged the whole thing.
