Bullock’s Law
I was thinking about a particular web service when I coined this today but I think I stated it generally enough that it can apply to any type of service:
Bullock’s Law:
Services that are free and helpful will later come at a price, add harmful features, or be shown to have been harmful all along.
No brainer? Maybe. Pessimistic? No, just realistic. No one can keep offering something for nothing even when they want to.
