“I'm super grateful for free projects, but”

No but. Be grateful. Do not ever expect some form of guarantee, continuity or support.

That’s it.

What nonsense. Can't I have questions before using something offered to me? Trade-offs are everywhere even with free things.

And this whole attempt at making someone with legitimate questions look bad ... sorry but it's ridiculous.

The operators of this gratis, ~quarter-century-old service are doing just fine without bothering to please users like yourself. You're unhappy with it, but they've clearly made the right choice.

No one here is assisting with that; it's all you.
