   This everything-as-a-service craze is a cancer that must be eradicated.

   And I want the PMs that only worship the cult of yearly recurring revenue out of my industry for good.

   If I buy a product, and that product cost me a lot as well, I want to be able to use that product however I like, for its intended lifetime, without having to pay for an extra subscription.

   I honestly don’t give a single fuck about how you are supposed to make money after my purchase - you already made money THROUGH my purchase. If it’s not enough then I’d rather be charged $50 more for my purchase than paying $5/month forever.

     @lastrobot @fabio your posts reminded me of the ShoeTool video: https://framatube.org/w/52035e24-e9fa-4a10-a63a-3a1c07c650f9

     @fabio It's like buying a hammer and every month they threaten to take it away and/or hassle you about how you choose to use it/repair it.
     It's a vendor-benefiting model that needs a reset.
