plot twist: one time purchase of a year and a half of use before “we are ending support for the product which inexplicably means your license somehow no longer works”
Depends on what it is I’m purchasing and the cost of the subscription vs the cost of a one time purchase. Also, depends on if it’s a true one time purchase or something along the lines of those “lifetime subscription” one time charges that never seem to actually last z lifetime.
I prefer keeping as much of my income available as possible and then decide when and where to spend it, rather than having most of it tied up in monthly rates. More liquidity=more flexibility
The day has not come that I’ve found a subscription worth the monthly rate. A little off topic, but I even pay a bit more for my Internet bill so I can dump its ass on a whim if I like, and I use that daily (hourly). Canada has SUPER predatory telecoms, keeps them honest
I make made my telecom choices specifically avoiding the big three and their subsidiaries. Has served me well so far.
