This is a good thing. It forces businesses to earn their revenue, not just rent seek.

Completely disagree. Rent-seekers have no reason to improve their products because their users have to pay even if they do nothing.
- Gigachad 5y agoYou can't just sit around doing nothing and expect to keep customers. Competitors will catch up and beat your offering. What subscriptions mean is more money spent on development and customer support, less money spent on advertising and sales teams. Because the real money is in continually making the customer feel they are getting good value.
