How?
They give you poorly disguised ads that you can't unsubscribe from in the form of a "news letter". These appear as emails in your inbox with special styling that sticks out. They've recently started pushing new features in the Calendar that you need to be the higher paying tier to use, but they still have special styling to make them stand out. If you try to use them, you get a huge popup saying you need to upgrade. They've been removing features from the lower tiers and demand you upgrade to keep using it.
