The stupid and greedy subscription model of the software industry

I used to use elementor pro on my wordpress, it is a great plugin. But I only used one of two paid function of them. After years I forget to renew the VIP. I found, it can not even let the plugin show on my webpage. My website can not be shown correctly. This is really noisy! So I finally to remove all the subscription functions of elementor on my wordpress.

I am not against pay for software, on the other hand I think, software developer need to be supported. However the subscription model is really stupid and greedy. I am much more prefer one time fee, even it can be a little expensive at this moment, but for the long run it is much better, and it also saves your brain cell for calculate all your software subscriptions in the end of the year. For this reason I also canceled the adobe subscription. I removed adobe totally from my computer. And I am sure, I am not the only one did that. There are enough excellent replacement, For Video Edition I use Davinci Resolve, and for graphic I am using affinity, both are one time payment. They are both Excellent!
