- natch 5y agoSubscription fees / rent seeking?
- kevindong 5y agoCan you expand on what you mean by "rent seeking" in this context? Regarding subscription fees, there's nothing wrong with paying for software.
- npteljes 5y agoEspecially that one pays for a service in case of 1P.
- evanb 5y agoI _bought_ 1P way before it was a service. I continued to pay for upgrades. I don't want a subscription, and I don't want to be forced into their black-box syncing. I've been migrating to the free software pass [0]. [0] https://www.passwordstore.org/ https://www.passwordstore.org/
- npteljes 5y agoI see, I wasn't aware that they are / were doing a standalone software version too. I always knew about them as a web service.
- jtbayly 5y agoThere is no reason for it to be a web service. Why should I pay for their cloud when I already have access to storage on three clouds, two of which they used to support, but have now removed from their software, just so they can force me to pay them every month? Oh man, it makes me mad.
- natch 5y agoNo, it’s a well understood concept. giyf. I did pay for their software. Then they decided to try to exploit their position in a way favorable to them, and unfavorable to me. Nope.
- jtbayly 5y agoThey are making the app worse (removing local vaults, making their mac app and iOS app crappy) so that they can force me to pay them more. Why would I agree to that? I resent it, and I'm leaving.
