@marc I think we shouldn't be too hard for companies that offer products for free. disclaimer: I offer Simple Analytics for COVID-19 projects for free in return for a backlink. As long as you're not planning to earn money from those customers and don't ask for payment information.
That's also why I added "Does it drive you into a paid account" to saasforcovid.com. Just to make it clear for customers how companies act. If companies offer something for free, I think it's great. No judgement.
I really don't feel to judge anybody's business. I simply ignore it, because I see mostly promotions, which has no relation with COVID-19, it's just another "get something free that you start using my service" and then use COVID-19 as an opener. It's something different, if eg a Restaurant make a promotion with free delivery during COVID-19, as this has some relation to COVID-19. But if COVID-19 is just used to make people opening the Email or get attraction I think it's misusing a really bad situation.
BUT.. repeating. It's not that bad that I want to judge it. I just trash it in my inboxes, as it's much to much used.
BTW. For sure a really good idea that you add this "Does it drive into paid account"....

I like that "Does it drive you into a paid account" filter. đź‘Ť
