Not that I use them anymore anyway, cancelling my old account, but name and shame any companies who conveniently can't support their free base. Also - it's VNC. It's a protocol. There's a dozen free clients out there.

I use anydesk for a single pc2pc connection and lately it's been popping up with a 60 second ad saying like "we're glad you are using it and you should start paying for a business license." I use it about once every couple weeks. Like I'm not paying for your shit for a few times a month use.
I use teamviewer to access a relative's computer when she needs help, and it's the same nagware. Like okay, I understand there are cloud costs. But where exactly are they here? I am a row in a database, you store my credentials and probably a couple of keys. All data is between the host computer and me, there's no processing of any kind there. Why exactly should I pay you monthly? There's no value benefit.
Our company pays for TeamViewer, and I still get nagged all the time, so there's no point in giving them money, they still nag you all the time.
that's actually really good to know
