    It’s not “only” $17, it’s $17 every single year, indefinitely. In six years you’ll be over the $100 price it’s at now.

    Subscription services are a scam meant to quietly part a large population of their money without their realizing it.

      First, $17 is a lot more affordable for some people. We don’t all have $100 we can just throw at a app whenever we like.

      Second, a cheap yearly subscription is not a big deal to some people, especially those that want to help the dev out.

      And thirdly, subscriptions are not scams unless you’re tricked into signing up for one.
