Contentful has positively impacted my work because I have people browsing Google and because I use SEO as well, and my articles are indexed and written by me, people come and read them, and the most valuable part is that some people find them attractive and actually read about topics like the difference between chatbots or agents, what is a chatbot, what is fine-tuning, or remote work, which are quite important looking at the market right now.

Contentful has positively impacted my organization because, as I mentioned, since we are using the headless setup, when we need to create new pages, update content, or conduct any marketing activity, we no longer need to rely on a technical person.

Sometimes the linking is challenging. If you are using too many links, then it is actually making the application deployment time longer, so Contentful needs to figure out a way to solve that problem.

I think the free tier has always been very generous, but the 25 content model types have at times been limiting, and I have had to find innovative ways to work around it because we are a community radio station that runs on donations and grants.
