Great idea for a site. I'm sure it won't lack content for quite some time.

#4My favourite at the moment is sendwithus. They said their service will never be GDPR compliant. But fortunately they have a new "enterprise grade" product called sendwithus dyspatch. Same feature set, new price plus GDPR compliance.
This is a price jump from $79/Month to a minimum of $24.000/year. And this is with discount for former sendwithus users.
I would consider this to be mafia methods.

#5The Instapaper one - #1 - is troubling for a non-obvious reason. One of the tenets of GDPR is that you have to be told how your data is being used. So the only explanation for this behaviour is that there's some shady shit going down that they want to stop before they have to admit to it.
If I used Instapaper I'd be filing a complaint with my local DPA about this.

Why? This seems like good behavior. They're original product is supported by a business model that relies on user data. Now they are offering a similar product that doesn't make money off of user data but instead charges the user. I am all for the GPDR, but the regulations don't say you can't suck up all user data _and_ you still have to provide your service for free/discounted
