Pro tip to teach people to fish instead of giving them a fish:

Whenever you’re looking for a new software tool to do something, especially something “sketchy” like this, add something like “GPL” or “open source” to the end of your search string. It might not be quite enough to get the official site of the best tool all the way to the first search result, but it cuts way, way down on the scam sites.

Or add “reddit” and check what people recommend Though you would have to use Google or perhaps Startpage

  This worked a few years ago, but half of reddit is just bots and guerilla marketers now :(

    Hence why reading comprehension is important. You need to assume that people are out to screw you on the internet, so look for their motivations. Someone pushing a paid service could be getting a kickback, whereas someone pushing a FOSS service probably just wants it to get attention so it sticks around.
