Why wouldn't he care? Keeping track of all the subscriptions "forced" upon you is a huge pain in the ass these days – and seemingly getting worse.

Personally, I refuse to use subscription services out of principle. I much prefer to pay once and have it off my mind.

Wouldn't a saner way to live be to judge the value you get out of something to determine how much you're willing to pay for its use?

Just seems needlessly limiting to act like this out of principle.

As far as I am concerned, subscriptions are an unreasonable hassle. You need to keep track of what subscriptions are active and where you can manage them. And when subscriptions are running, a “did I remember cancelling all the stuff I’m currently not using” is always in the back of my mind somewhere. That’s just annoying noise that I can easily avoid by not using subscription services.

I just find caring about any of that to be a waste of mental energy. I prefer to use the tools that make me effective enough to out-earn the problem.

For only $400 per decade, I will handle your Little Snitch Mini subscription.

Longer licensing agreements are also available. ;)

> per decade

So you're selling a more expensive subscription?
