This could be things that once were commercialized but are now public domain, or have largely resisted commercialization to this day. In this context I mean this as aiming for profit and being sold/monetized.

Geo-caching.
Run by a for-profit company and they do hide a lot of features and even caches behind a premiun subscription.
It’s not that bad though, most do just fine without paying a cent.

I know, I solely use CGEO. It’s awesome. I’ve even logged one premium cache just for the hell of it. It’s just good to mention to people that there’s this premium thing since people bump into it anyway.

Your original comment made it sound like there is no alternative for accessing those premium chaches though
You can go around it but it’s annoying and not really intended for anyone but premium subscribers.
Dunno why some decide to set them premium only

From what I gathered is that some caches over a certain difficulty are set as “advanced caches” and don’t show up in the official website or app to people without premium.
There’s a specific app for that? I see people doing geo caching the same way they do that painted rock thing. Can usually find clues and riddles to find them posted on a physical message board at the community center.
There’s a few apps. Easier than the old way of writing the info down and having a dedicated GPS device for coordinates hah
