> Do you work for the site or something?

Nope.

> You brought up the CMS. I didn’t.

Yes, again, it was to explain to you that they only say that the CMS is free, not the services because you said:

> This site is misrepresenting itself as open source and free, while simultaneously having an affiliate program and pricing page, which, as I've said, isn't free

They only said their CMS was open-source and free, not any of their other services.

> I don’t think you know what you’re even arguing about or for because none of your arguments or claims even go anywhere

I was correcting you because you said things that just aren't true:

> This site is misrepresenting itself as open source and free, while simultaneously having an affiliate program and pricing page, which, as I've said, isn't free. It's unverifiable whether or not it's open source, as you don't even download/run the software yourself: it's a web app, which is beside the point, as web apps could also be open source, but as there's no way to self-host this, let alone download it and/or run it, for free or otherwise. I think it's safe to avoid this scammy site.

Which is just not accurate at all, as I've already explained several times. You can dislike the site all you want but you don't need to slander them.



>> to clarify, i have nothing to do with this site, i used it once, years back and there was a free tier or at least a free/crippled version at that time

Per ‘bagpuss, the backup was free when they used it, and they were referring to the backup, not the CMS.

So, I would argue you were mistaken.
