I don’t want to have a subscription for everything. It used to be possible to pay a one-time fee for software and use it as long as I want. Now I have to pay a monthly fee and once I finish paying, I can’t use the software anymore. And it’s not like I constantly get updates for the software. Often it stays the same for months or years.
I understand that software has a price, but no way these prices are sometimes justified…
I had a Adobe subscription for Professional stuff and they charged me an early termination fee when canceling. There are SO many free alternatives and with this policy they’ve ensured that I use all of them and never ever Adobe ever again.

I agree, but from a !piracy perspective
I’m always on the hunt for self hosted/open source solutions.
