YouTube sells the silence for a monthly fee. YouTube Debloat deletes the ads and the Shorts from Safari for nothing.
Screenshot tools paywall the scroll. ScrollShot captures the whole page, blurs the secrets and edits the PDF, free and offline.
“Whenever I needed to capture a scrolling page, blur out sensitive info, or edit a PDF, I found myself either hitting paywalls or uploading sensitive files to online converter sites.”
Mattermost started paywalling features it used to give away and sells the rest by the seat. Antimatter is the fork with the licence checks pulled out: SSO, LDAP, no nag screens, no invoice.
“Unfortunately, after a few disappointments at a previous company actually trying (and giving up) to buy a licence, and after their latest actions, which I could only call backstabs (paywalling previously available features, putting arbitrary limits that previously didn't exist, or recently adding nag screens to push people into either buying their licence or just away from their platform altogether), I've ended up fed up with their BS and started to work on a fork.”
CapCut lets you edit the whole video, then wants a subscription at the Export button. Concat exports for free and never learned the word watermark.
“I was really excited to complete and upload my first video ever, and everything seemed perfect until I clicked Export and it showed a popup saying that I had to pay a monthly subscription fee to use the most trivial features like voice changers.”
