Netflix started out as a blessing. That's why I bought a subscribtion intially. Nowadays they've been screwed over as much as I have and they suck as much as every other service, but I'm sticking with Netflix. It is the most convenient method for my kids to watch their stupid cartoons and I also get to enjoy something every once in a while. I've tried others, but it's not worth it.

I hate subscription models. After adobe, never again.

I'd never subscribe to Adobe. I love Figma, but if Abobe takes over Figma and applies it's usual tactics, I'm never using Figma again.

I did, because it was convenient. But I learned my lesson, it was quite expensive.

I’m fine with subscription models for audio and video, since the goal is a continuous flow of new entertainment

Not for software. I want to own my software. These days it’s mostly operate since so many are too difficult to own (you want me to subscribe to Office? LoL, I “own” LibreOffice)
