There are pros and cons with subscriptions. For marketers and subscribers. For marketers they’re a great thing because you can get an ongoing cash flow, but they also demand that you keep providing sufficient value to retain the subscribers. For subscribers they are often a less expensive way to get access to products and there is some surety that the products will be improved and upgraded because the vendor is getting regular income. The downside for subscribers is when they stop using a product, but fail to stop paying for it. To be honest I’d rather be paying a subscription than a lifetime lump sum, even if I only use the product occasionally. I see better value in that for me, buit there are many people who will disagree with me. The challenge is to decide which subscriptions you don’t need any longer. Some of them are extremely difficult to cancel, which I find very offensive. That’s why 90% of my subscriptions go through PayPal rather than my credit card. Yes, it does cost me a little more, but when I comes to cancelling, it’s a breeze. How do you handle that? Regards, P.S. I’ve discovered a writing style that AI is excellent at. Something that doesn’t have a problem with falsehoods or hallucinations that we know AI is prone to do. I’m going to write this up over the weekend for your entertainment. |
