Re:Ask HN: Does Shareware still work in 2018? by ghaff on Friday November 16, 2018 @06:49AM (#18468110)
The ASP at least for a long time took a hard line against crippling whether by feature or time limiting. After I moved on (and retail software started offering demos, open source became widespread, etc.) shareware evolved into the sort of crippleware, adware, etc. that you still see in some corners of the software world today.
