    I’m glad it works for you. My beef is two-fold. First, I am sick of being pushed to subscriptions. There are a lot of things I used to buy once that I now get to buy every month. For some things it works well, but mostly just more trouble and money over the lifetime.

    Second, and this is the big one, is intentionally making the product worse to push me to the subscription model. When I buy a printer there is no reason it has to phone home. It is a printer. I should be able to give it power and print with it.

      I’m with you, people who buy subscriptions are telling companies “This method of rinsing consumers for every penny works, keep doing it” and make the world worse
