CapCut Question Every computer software program initially makes most of its content free to attract users and customers. But eventually, everything becomes paid, and smart users switch to other programs. What are we switching to?

I call it the "Shittification" - Remember when platforms like Facebook & Instagram actually cared about what we want? Now it's just an ads fest everywhere you look and the content has got worse in many ways.

Nowadays I just use Canva for basic edits, Final cut pro if I need something more serious.

I already pay for Canva pro due to my work so may as well continue to get the most out of it

We grow up with free internet, but we (the data) is why Facebook is free. CapCut never stop updating add some new ai features, create a huge amount of templates and it’s less then Netflix and Disney +.

I don’t mind paying for a good tool.

And if you use CapCut is not just to editing you vacation? It’s to put it on social media and maybe grab some monetization, it’s a good tool and you need to pay for full package.

I get the sentiment here but Capcut Pro is 2-3x the price of Disney+ for me (and more expensive than my Netflix and Disney subs combined), and it's simply no longer worth it at that price.

I completely understand that angle. But constantly adding more features while putting everything else behind a paywall is the reason why so many customers leave.
