So 100 a month total? Surely that's not any kind of issue if you're making good money? I get tons of value from the services I subscribe to.
- andix 4y agoAfter paying for housing, power, food, insurance, transportation, savings, …, I have maybe 1000$ left for spending every month. I don’t want to spend 10% of it for some apps/services that save me maybe a few minutes every months, for tasks that can be also somehow achieved with the apps that came with my phone.
- jeromegv 4y agoThen you’re not the target market. It’s just supply and demand. If not enough people want to pay that subscription, they will stop and change model (or shut down). But if this is sustainable enough to pay for their dev, it doesn’t look like they should cater to you as those are non critical tasks for you and they barely have any impact on your life.
- sorrychuck 4y ago> Then you’re not the target market. This is correct. Most of the complaints here amount to “it’s too expensive” which like, yeah, it’s too expensive for you. So don’t buy it. (Somehow HN — on average, obviously not everyone, but the zeitgeist say — manages to at once complain about companies constantly losing money, and also about companies that charge money!)
