Lifetime subscription / by Alexander Lyadov

I don’t trust services that offer lifetime subscriptions paid for once.

If life teaches us anything, it is that entropy is one of the few constants.

Whatever man creates and builds, it will immediately begin to wither away.

The ants of entropy methodically dismantle any beetle.

Therefore, to keep the fire going, wood must be constantly added.

In addition, the world does not remain static but changes ever faster.

One needs to invest in R&D so that the service will be relevant tomorrow.

Bottom line: you need resources to survive and develop in uncertainty.

How many? No genius can predict it.

No matter how much users pay once, it won’t be enough.

It should be obvious to smart founders.

Then what does offering a lifetime subscription for a single payment mean?

Either the service was founded by short-sighted people and then it will fail.

Or the owners of the service understand everything but lie to users.

After all, users want to believe that there is something eternal under the moon.

Yours sincerely,

-Alexander
