 * Waste of time, any AI browser plugin can do what this does. Greed made the developer
   disable the option to let the AI edit the post/text directly. This effectively
   makes configuring the plugin a waste of time, compared to “just working” browser
   plugin.
 * Of course, the paywall is NOT a payment, it is another stinking subscription,
   expensive version. 
   Such display of greed for basic functionality, makes me even
   wonder if the API keys are going to be abused too, after all, it would be in 
   line with the pricing, price model, and the general impresion.

 * I always welcome constructive criticism, but I need to address the baseless accusations
   in this review.
 * First, regarding your speculation about API keys: this is entirely false. The
   plugin processes API keys securely and locally. Accusing a developer of malicious
   intent without evidence crosses a line.
 * Second, regarding the Post Assistant and direct edits: taking automated actions
   requires Function Calling. Ensuring Function Calling remains stable and compatible
   across constantly updating LLM models is incredibly difficut. It requires continuous
   maintenance, testing, and dedicated support.
 * Because of the massive amount of work required to keep Function Calling operational,
   it is entirely unsustainable to offer it for free. That is why it is a Pro feature.
   It is not _greed_; it is the reality of maintaining complex software.
 * I work hard to provide a functional free tier, but I cannot give away everything
   neither, otherwise this plugin wouldn’t survive.
   I wish you the best in finding
   a browser extension that better fits your workflow.

 * This is silly. A plugin developer isn’t “greedy” because they charge for their
   work. I pay for this (and it’s worth it). Because the AI world is always in flux,
   it means this plugin needs to be updated regularly. For example: Adding new models
   for it to connect to, new functionality, fixing it due to changes on the foundation
   models end, etc. is needed.
 * And it’s a huge stretch to imply that there is fraud with API keys because you
   don’t like a subscription. Calm down.
