This has happened to me at least 3 times with Google.

- They offer a free service.
- I sign up for the free service.
- A couple years later, they say to continue with the free service you must now do something I don't want to, like pay monthly or agree to put my home address publicly on the Android store.
- I decline, and my account on the service is deleted.
- For literally the next 15 years, I periodically get inscrutable emails about service changes or minor pricing changes in Bhutan

If it is free, you are the product.

@SpaceLifeForm True, however it's worth remembering that even if you are paying you sometimes find out you are the product

@mcc

That is why you earn 2 years of free credit monitoring. ./s
