What subscription finally gave you "subscription fatigue"? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Learned the term recently and really enjoy it, subscription fatigue is the feeling we all have had now where we are just over how everything is subscription based.

Which one was the last straw or most annoying/frustrating to you?

Sublime Text 4 going subscription based instead of major release based. I downgraded back to ST3 and am keeping my lifetime license on that one. The alternative is a 3 year usage license which is trash for the price you need to pay

It does say you get to keep access to everything in the three year window.

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

this is correct, you get access to every update in that window, instead of everything in that major release. It is better than it could be but, it's rediculous to purchase a software that doesn't even give you the full release of it. It also doesn't alert you before upgrading/updating to a release outside your license window and relies on you figuring out how to downgrade after if you let it auto update.
