Dear fucking god, THAT explains why I couldn't do that.

Its always the same with online services/platforms looking to make money. Offer a free or cheap online service/platform, then advertisements, then more advertisements, then start removing features and hiding them behind paywalls, then more advertisements, then death.

Or, like Facebook and Insta, you get so big that the world itself warps around your platform because no one can remember the before times.
