In all video tutorials, the authors famously connect plugins to their wordpress sites
. There is no such option in my wordpress.com account
. ..
Question #1
Is there some simple (as in the videos) way to install plugins on wordpress, or at least have access to pre-installed ones?
Question number 2
Why do you need a tariff for $ 99 - what fundamental opportunities does it provide compared to a free tariff?

Plugins are actually created for the self-hosted version, for the WordPress engine itself. This is when you buy a domain, hosting, download WordPress itself from . org , install, configure, and then include any plugins you need.
WordPress. com is a service, a blog farm. Like a chick, only much bigger. There is no way to install anything there.

For security reasons, wordpress.com does not allow you to upload your own plugins - you already have a couple of plugins like Akismet installed, and more is not given. However, for WP Enterprise (paid plan) a plugin store is available - https://vip.wordpress.com/plugins/

Isn't it easier to buy a cheap hosting plan - in some cases, $99 is enough for 2 years + domain and install whatever your heart desires?
