Selling it is one thing. Making it a subscription is just crazy to me.

Isn't making it a subscription more honest? Don't pay an outright price for this, just pay monthly until it stops working

If it's providing value to the user month to month then it makes sense to be a subscription. Lifetime license are racing to the bottom for ongoing value.

It probably will require constant support to keep filtration working. These big companies don’t like content cutters at all.
