In the latest episode of "they will always sell you out" - they sold you out! Who would've thought.

Hoping for a good alternative client to appear, the writing is on the wall. Vaultwarden can't exist without "leeching" off of Bitwarden.

No one is being “sold out” lol. Anyone using the free tier has had a great run with an amazing service without paying a cent. Can’t complain about that.

I already pay for Bitwarden as it’s a great service that brings a lot of value. I’m happy to pay for it, and have zero anger at a company wanting to make money from their product.

Others might disagree, but companies can’t exist without making money. It’s insane that there are somehow still people that don’t understand how business works.

My work just started giving out 6 sponsored family licenses per employee which is awesome, so I’ll actually get to stop paying for it for a while.
