When I read this comment I knew it must be targeting MacOS users. The only reason I clicked the link is to confirm my assumption.
Edit: I'm not trying to shame MacOS users. I'm just saying that Linux and MacOS users (Windows users don't use /etc/hosts so out of discussion) have very different behaviour regarding paying for software.
Why are you trying to dismiss this guy? I don't understand it. If you don't like the product or feel that $19 is too much money, then move along. God forbid someone tries to make a living by selling software.
I've personally struggled to test https locally [1], and I'm sure others have too. The next time I have the problem, though, I'll save myself the configuration and spend $19.
