Ethical Software Alternatives

Users are increasingly wary of 'free' digital tools, fearing an inevitable switch to costly subscriptions and a decline in quality. This common 'bait-and-switch' model erodes trust, making people hesitant to adopt new platforms for fear of being locked into a system that will eventually exploit them.
