Topic: What really grinds my gears; freemium Wordpress plugins.

Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago #47,489

It seems everything is freemium nowadays and Wordpress doesn't even give you the option to filter these fuckers out. Sup with that? Hundreds of plugins crippled on purpose to make a few pennies.

I also read it is not allowed to remove functionality, so the functions are in these freemium plugins but are left unactivated. I guess it's easy to activate them if you know PHP. Which I don't.

FML.

Why do you think that people should work for free?

How much do they cost and what do they do?

Back in my day we called that shareware.

Also, why not learn a little PHP? It's not like you have to tear that shit down to bytecode to reverse engineer it.
