A lot of people use "one-shot" things not to sell it or provide links but for personal usage and to replace tools etc they used to pay for (as few did in this thread).

Hmm right. Personal usage I can get behind.

But if I had a coworker/employee just constantly finding ways to one-shot tools we're paying for I'd be pretty miffed. If that's all they're doing why are they even there. Just use their salary to pay for the services at that point.
