Pinboard offers one-time-ish payments for very long time periods. Cleverly, my money for using this service in 2024 is already earning the founder interest instead of me: “Pinboard charges $22 per year for a regular account, or $39 per year for archiving and full-text search. You get discounts for multiple years...” Meanwhile, looking under the hood of most “lifetime” offers means for the expected life of that version of the product. My experience is even the 90th percentile expected value is below 5 years. This service has stood out in contrast to that. I appreciate your extra constant anxiety, yet manage to also be anxious whether I’ll miss noticing when the pre-paid months finally come due in Feb 2025. Hopefully by then pinboard will still let me pre-fund the founder’s money market account.
