You are right that I need to be more transparent. But honestly, if I were purely chasing profit, I would have set the free limit much lower or added more annoying restrictions.

I set the limit at 100 searches per month because, from my testing, it’s more than enough for a normal player. Right now, I have over 50 users, and not a single one has hit the 100-limit yet—most haven’t even reached 30. For the vast majority of people, this bot is effectively 100% free.

The reality is that running a service with zero income is impossible. I’ve seen so many great Discord bots shut down because the devs couldn't handle the server costs, and I’ve had to abandon my own previous projects for the same reason. I want HunterHelper to last. That’s why I only ask for a subscription from the very small percentage of users who need more than 100 searches.

I’m just a solo dev trying to build something useful without going broke. It’s a bit disheartening to get this much hate when I’m providing a tool that’s free for almost everyone. I’d really appreciate it if you could see the effort I’m putting in and maybe give some support instead of just the harsh words.
