    I’m not subscribing to anything. If I buy something, it’s fully functional, and it’s mine. There is no ongoing relationship between me and the manufacturer. Done.

      I’m working on this, the subscription model has gotten so expensive now that literally everything uses it. Do you have any tips besides “just pirate everything”?

      Anything that doesn’t incur an ongoing cost to provide should be legally prohibited from being sold as a “subscription.”

        Not everything needs a law against it. I’m just not going to buy into their fucked up system.

          Except more and more companies are hopping on this gravy train because they can get away with it. At some point (and that point may be now already, depending on the sector), it’s going to be difficult-to-impossible to buy anything without this subscription bullshit.
