The thing that bothers me about subscription models is that they reverse the power dynamic between a business and a customer. They are fundamentally 'pay us and maybe we'll produce something worthwhile, if not you can unsubscribe after you've already paid'. And it should be the other way around: 'we produce something and if you find it worthwhile, pay us'.
Asshole corps will always find ways to milk you dry but it might just become easier with the subscription.
