- Get a product/service
- Use it for a while
- Get used to it to the point you would miss it
- The product/service suddenly isn't free anymore
- There is a possibility to buy a lifetime license so you'll do it
- After a year or so there is an update and the old version becomes obsolete
- It turns out that your lifetime license is not valid for the new version
- There is a monthly and yearly subscription possibility
- At this point you are using the product/service for a few years and it would be too big effort to switch to something else, so you pay for the subscription
- And now you're in the trap
This is the usual script but there is always something else which can be monetized by the companies...
You don't own the product/service, you don't have long-term access to it.
You can't be sure that it will still exist in a year or two or that the price will not be doubled.
This is the present and future of every product/service and you'll need to constantly adopt to the changes...
