> So yeah, why is that? And is anyone else tired of the constant barrage of subscriptions for things that should be one off purchases? New models of Fitbit require a subscription to unlock the full feature set – I decided not to upgrade the device at all as long as the old one still works. There are one-off purchases for services – e.g. generate an AI video in order to gift it to someone. Many services provide monthly subscriptions with a fixed amount of credits. For creators and folks with businesses subscriptions make sense, but for occasional, one-time use it makes zero sense. While I'd be willing to just pay-per-use, I will walk away from services offering subscriptions only.
