    Yep.

    Standard VC bullshit.

    Burn money providing a lot for nothing to build brand recognition. Then cut free service before bringing out “premium” that at first works better than the original.

    Until a bunch of people starting paying and the resources aren’t scaled up to match.

      The important note, the “premium” service works just a bit better than (or maybe identically to) the original before the company cut features in order to develop that “premium” service.
