Pro tip to teach people to fish instead of giving them a fish:
Whenever you're looking for a new software tool to do something, especially something "sketchy" like this, add something like "GPL" or "open source" to the end of your search string. It might not be quite enough to raise the official site of the best tool all the way to the first search result, but it cuts way, way down on the scam sites.
Or perhaps even better yet, go straight to checking AlternativeTo.net.
Or add "reddit" and check what people recommend Though you would have to use Google or perhaps Startpage
Yes, but eww.
This worked a few years ago, but half of reddit is just bots and guerilla marketers now :(
Hence why reading comprehension is important. You need to assume that people are out to screw you on the internet, so look for their motivations. Someone pushing a paid service could be getting a kickback, whereas someone pushing a FOSS service probably just wants it to get attention so it sticks around.
How dare you.
May as well walk into an AA meeting and tell people they can just keep drinking
?
Reddit is bad and we shouldn't use it.
But it's not bad in anywhere near the same way as alcohol is bad for alcoholics. It's a terrible analogy.
Hyperbole is dead. Everything is 1:1. Please label your jokes.
I am an alcoholic and I liked your joke :3
I respect fully disagree. Reddit may be a shitty corporation, but at least their software is better usable. Most importantly, they have communities there.
