The corporations which insist upon using the SUBSCRIPTION MODEL are no better than heroin addicts. What they need is our TOUGH LOVE. We must STOP ENABLING THEM.....NOW. A couple of years ago, I went through all the subscriptions I had, and the dollar amount was much more than I thought. Also, I found out from scrutinizing my credit cards that I as being charged, surreptitiously, without my knowledge for some things, such as webhoting. I contacted the company to cancel, but they just kept sending me bill, after bill, after bill. So, I canceled my credit cards, and applied for new ones. That put an end to their fraud, and it was fraud. We need opensource software which is paid for, in a fair way, by those who use it most and benefit from it most. We cannot expect to get great software for free. But, oftentimes, corporations are willing to subsidize the creation of software, such as Linux, just as an example, so that the entire world can use it for free. We need to first adopt a model which will replace Adobe, and then we need to fund it, and those who use it most should fund it most. And, most people should just be able to use it for free, unless they are using it for commercial purposes. CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS. Once you begin, you will feel happier. NETFLIX.....DEEP SIX IT......and go from there.
