This depends on how much you like crate digging. I don't and have reduced my samples to 50 GB total. Mars, Goldbaby, etc.
Computer lyme isn't a thing, though.
I think newcomers should spend a little money on the DAW and not go for the free ones. Studio One Artist seems to be the best entry level offering.
Just my 2c.
This means other, right?

Great small developer. Some classics like Blue Zone or String Collection 1 and 2. The rest is totally worth it, too.
For full Kontakt.

More purchases for me. Many good freebies, too. Some very good deals like Black Rooster or Ableton. On the other hand, I've moved on , consolidated a lot and sold many of the products off again.
If you get an error when purchasing, check your account. For me, the purchase went through, and I have Graffio in my account without getting a confirmation.
And products that are bug temples. Plus I get the same functionality better from other vendors. Plus I don't like it when people are using their personal problems for marketing inferior products. Won't buy in there in any way.
Just look at Airwindows. The guy has his demons, too, but acts in a way so you like him, his plugins, his great videos and the whole act. This is a different world.
Good, he should close shop... and stop spamming.
Seriously, it's a business, and if it finally does not work anymore, I am happy to see this one erased from the map.
In my opinion, the best offers are:
TAL J8, 11 bucks
TAL Drum, 8
Kuassa Amplifikation Rectifor, 7
Kuassa Amplifikation Lancaster, 7
AudioThing Frostbite 2, 13
PSP stompFilter, 13
Melda MCombMB, 9
Any other all time lows?
