content: Subscription apps are the new hoax in software Usually you pay for the app and it become your property, like for any other kind of physical goods. Now some pieces of shit are starting to sell their apps as subscription only. It's as easy as it gets. When you own something, you can forget about it and still use it later. With a subscription, the pieces of shit demand you to pay for a subscription in order to use their software. Even if you don't need to use it, you still must pay the subscription. This is nothing less than blackmail, because you don't have the choice to buy it.
