Slack’s free plan change is causing an exodus
People should understand this:<p>A free tier is a loss-leader, intended to support sales of the paid product.<p>If too many “…have been happily using Slack’s free plan for years”, then Slack will <i>have</i> to change the terms.<p>Generally, storage and access to storage cost money. If you aren’t paying for it, it is definitely temporary, whether anyone says it explicitly or not. I don’t just mean in a “nothing lasts forever” way, but that it will gone in the relatively short term. This is just reality.
