Unsubscribe: Refusing to pay to use what we own

At last, true words. A subscription based economy is ultimately unsustainable. Too many subs chasing too few subscribers with too little cash. Eventually it will crash and burn, and already there's pushback coming from users (e.g. the Adobe extortion). The best way to ensure devs get revenue to keep developing and users get value, is to push the subscription up into the Premium product range, which looks like it's starting to get traction in A.I. software at least.

The answer to the subscription model is not to partake of it.<p>Companies can choose to go with the subscription model or go without sales. <i>In 2019, BMW began charging users a subscription fee to use Apple CarPlay (though this was scrapped later that year).</i><p>Customers can use previous non-subscription models, or buy from companies that don&#x27;t use the subscription mode of business.<p>Business routes around constrictive companies. Ferinstance: Don&#x27;t like Apple&#x27;s business practices? Buy a (probably better and cheaper) phone from Huawei instead.

I absolutely despise the fact that they try to add subscriptions to every damn thing.<p>I wish more people understood this and would actually refuse to purchase.<p>&quot;Consumers can vote with our dollars. Consumer backlash has already affected the rollout of some subscription schemes. Refuse to purchase these products, and join with others who are rejecting these developments.&quot;
