App Doesn't Deserve a Subscription Cost

I agree with some of the author's concerns in his blogpost. But the real context of his post is here: https://twitter.com/airmailer/status/1150562754534748161

To me, this sounds like a desparate reason to try to captialise on moving to a subscription-based plan. In-app subscription for email push notifications with multiple account support? I'm not convinced.

I'd rather use/migrate back to the stock email app than subscribe to something like this.

I agreed with author, until recently. Everyone hates it when their favorite utility app becomes abandonware. And the reality is that keeping an app up to date with all the new features on a mobile platform is non trivial. Many times I really wish that apps would switch to subscription model so that I can pay to make sure they don’t get forgotten about. In a software world that requires constant updates, consistent payments makes sense.
