That's all well and good for you, but they pulled many rugs out from under free users. This is arguably bad, depending on who you ask, but they most certainly did flat out lie about, which is the core issue.
There's no "rug pulling" for free users. Expecting a service run by a for-profit company to keep everything free forever is naive and just plain dumb.
What did they lie about exactly?
