Things are not nearly as predictable 100 years out as they are 1 or 10.
A 100-year plan is for WordPress.com's benefit, not yours. They get a predictable accounting revenue stream for 100 years if they continue to exist; if not, no problem for them, they still got the money, while you get nothing (or whatever a bankruptcy court says). You get... hosting for 100 years. Maybe. What are the odds, and are you factoring that into the price you pay?
It reminds me of file locker sites' "lifetime subscriptions", which amount to however long they continue to operate before the owners lose interest in the hassle or get sued and have to shut down.
- josephcsible 3y ago> They get a predictable accounting revenue stream for 100 years Isn't this a one-time payment up front?
- harshreality 3y agoYeah, but the accounting for it would run the 100 years, presumably.
