    It’s a service, why should you pay once? It’s like water and electricity, ongoing cost needs to be balanced by ongoing revenue. Especially when the utility is also ongoing.

    If you prefer paying once, get some dividend ETFs and use the dividends to pay for the service. Yes, it’s expensive, but you can also sell the etf again when you stop using the service.

          No they can’t. You make a good point. The lifetime purchase model is great for the consumer but not always for the business offering it. Larger companies like Siriusxm can afford it because they have enough money coming from other sources like manufacturers, monthly subscribers, etc but little operations like lj would be fucked if everyone paid for it once.

          Do yourself a favor and block/ignore the idiots that don’t understand what you are talking about. They either won’t to troll or they will never understand what it costs to run a business.

      I get why subscriptions exist but everything right now is trying to push you into a subscription. I really don’t need yet another subscription in my life.

      I’m all for paying for Sync but it won’t be via a subscription. Sorry.
