Subscriptions trapped us into renting what we used to own
This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.
- Pay, and you hold it.
- Anyone can dethrone you for more.
- Every claim stays on the record.
No claims on the record.
The other side
A boxed copy of Photoshop cost hundreds of dollars up front and stopped working the day the operating system changed. Ownership meant paying full price again. Monthly access spreads that cost and cancels in one click. Nobody was trapped. The CD shelf was the real lock-in, since a scratched disc was simply gone and no library replaced it.
