Yes, in part - If it's a _service_ I'm happy to pay a subscription (e.g. streaming TV series, an ad-free version of a podcast, Kagi search etc...). If it's software - I will try to avoid the product if it requires a subscription, and instead either purchase software outright (with the expectation that I may need to in 3-4 years again for a major rewrite) or stick with Open Source alternatives.
