As I said in a different thread[0], the fact that some subscriptions are predatory doesn't mean subscriptions are necessarily predatory. > If you have a subscription for something, and you like it, it will change under your feet. It will get worse, and in effect, it will be taken from you. Then I can move on and find something else. If I really think I can't, then it's probably providing me with something I find valuable enough to keep. That idea has its limits (again, I don't disagree that subscription services can be predatory) but it's certainly true sometimes. >If the counter-point is that mobile apps will suffer, then good. I don't like or any want any mobile apps whatsoever. Right. And if you don't like or want magazines, you shouldn't subscribe to magazines. But there's no reason to think that because you personally do not like magazines, no one else should like them and no one else can find value in them. | ||
