You need to pay for the things that add value to you. If you don’t need ads on an app, then you need to pay a subscription fee. If you want to learn something new, then you need to pay the person who has already mastered the art to teach you. If you don’t want to travel every day for work, then pay an extra premium to stay near the office which saves a lot of time.
You have to pay the price one way or the other. For example, building a skill is not easy, there goes a lot of work. You have to pay the price in terms of effort to gain the mastery. Do not expect things for free! Freebies are not always good.
There is a famous quote that I can remember now
If you are not paying for the product, then you are the product.
