You don't need a subscription for instances to stay around long term - you need to use them. Instances without users shut down, naturally.
Instance owners don't do this to get rich or have someone else pay the bills I believe. They just want users.
And I think many of us hate subscriptions. :)
I understand, and for the most part, I agree, but I would still like to find a paid instance.
Why if I may ask?
Market research to start their own paid instance likely.
That would be tough lol ๐
I mean one day maybe but it'll be like paying for Linux, which exists, but you have to work for it and propose an important benefit.
