This just feels like the latest in a long line of industries trying to build a recurring revenue model fueled by greed.

Looking at the uproar from moves by Circut[1] and others makes me question how out of touch some of these companies are.

I think companies need to realise a subscription needs to deliver constant tangible value to the consumer.

This would not have been a problem (or even an option for the company) if the software was open source.
