You have to pay their recurring revenue if you want them to stay in business and keep the lights on so you can use their product. That's the hard reality. If you run your own server and fix your own bugs and etc. (which is feasible for many here, I'm not saying it's a bad option) then you can "pay no more than you have to".

- dcow 3y agoSure, then you're okay with the consequences of the product not existing when they go out of business.
- LegitShady 3y agoIf it was just software they sold it would still exist. It's only a saas and abusive license.verififcation that means if they go out of business they remove all benefits from previously paid amounts, and that's not in my interest either.
- JohnFen 3y agoI am entirely fine with that, yes. It might make room for better business models to return.
