What amazes me are the number of companies selling “lifetime” VPN service or “lifetime” cloud storage service with a straight face.
Like… that is TRANSPARENTLY a scam. You’re literally gonna sell lifetime licenses to people with more money than common sense, until the entire system is overloaded, then just go out of business.
at least with standalone software it’s going to work forever as long as the OS supports it. cant say the same for live service software that you can’t run at home
I just bought a lifetime subscription to Nebula (a YouTube-like service akin to a co-op for content creators) and my rationale was
Lifetime costs the same as ten years of annual priced subscriptions
It will be cheaper than that due to inflation
The service has been operating for 5 years, so it’s likely to last at least 10 more
The service is philosophically opposed to the sort of place that may try to acquire it
Other stuff, no thanks. Too many practical products (as opposed to entertainment ones) have a great supply of methods to screw you and a great desire to screw you.

Thought it was funny that these two comments were next to each other.
I mean, you ARE getti ]ng what you pay for, just not until the end of YOUR lifetime,
