If those companies had a shred of integrity and respect for their customers, they would be upfront about such plans. Without a roadmap, user trust will eventually be shattered by step 2. Most people understand this shell game, and they will put up with it if they know what to expect.
Companies are not some altruistic group, and this pattern of "free to get you hooked then convert to a paying customer" is almost as old as computing itself.
What is odd here people depending on slack for search history and not creating a proper KB?
