Ask HN: Do you pay for services you don’t strictly need to?

For example:

- The New York Times website has a limit on the number of articles you can read each month, but anyone knows you can circumvent this with Chrome’s incognito mode.

- Slack has a free tier but there’s no obligation to sign up for its paid-for version.

I tend to pay for things that I think are worthy e.g. for magazine sites where the quality of writing is good.
