I just bought a lifetime subscription to Nebula (a YouTube-like service akin to a co-op for content creators) and my rationale was

  • Lifetime costs the same as ten years of annual priced subscriptions
  • It will be cheaper than that due to inflation
  • The service has been operating for 5 years, so it's likely to last at least 10 more
  • The service is philosophically opposed to the sort of place that may try to acquire it

Other stuff, no thanks. Too many practical products (as opposed to entertainment ones) have a great supply of methods to screw you and a great desire to screw you.
