It's that simple. If you don't want to be the product then you gotta pay for it.

But honestly Hive accounts should be free if someone can verify their identity as a non-bot. We need a privacy focused identify verification where users don't have to reveal their private info to verify. That way we can avoid abuse.

Why free? Because you have to anyway invest in a little RCs(HP) if you want to basic transactions. As I have understood RC costs will rise with the activity and the price of HIVE. Free accounts will also remove any barrier to entry. People in my country would find it odd to pay even $2-3 for an account although the value they are getting in return is actually immense. It's your bank account and the only gateway (to web3) you need.
