CrowdSec “Community”

CrowdSec “Community” offering only gets worse and worse!

First, they had raised a paywall around querying details on IP addresses that triggered Alerts. Only 30 queries per week for the “Community”.

Now, they have extended that paywall to cover the whole Alerts feature! Only 500 alerts per month for the “Community”!

Enshitification meets cybersecurity!

    As an example: a company starts a free tier offering with no promises. It can sustain that because there are enough free users that convert into paying users - enough to sustain the free tier. But times change and the cost of free tier users surpasses that of paying users. Should the company continue providing the same level of service for free tier users?

    Also, what other term than entitlement would you use for somebody gets something for free, is not promised that it will stay free forever, the free offering is cancelled or limited, and the user starts complaining?
