I have mixed feelings about subscriptions depending on the case:<p>a) the subscription is a red flag stopping me from using the service (Notability, Ulysses)<p>b) righteous anger for subscription based apps which were already making tons of money without subscription but switched to it anyway (looking at you, Adobe)<p>c) the subscription model is somewhat justifiable given the complexity of the end product (Altium, Autodesk)<p>d) I am willing to pay monthly fee because the app or service is actually way better at some things compared to non-subscription analogs (Spotify)<p>e) this is not a monthly fee but a monthly donation you can stop paying at any time (Wikipedia)<p>So, when exactly is the subscription fee appropriate for you?
