My only concern is that leading software can lead to some developers
slacking off if they have their app pretty much working correctly. Back
in the day people kept upgrading computers and apps because the new ones
were faster and the apps had lots of new features. At some point the
computers got fast enough that I'm not really itching for new hardware
all that often and certain apps have pretty much all the features I care
about. Whats an app developer to do if I think their existing version
works just fine? No more revenue. Say they make a word processor and
have pretty much got all the basics down. I'm not as interested in
paying a monthly/annual fee just to keep using it as is. Sure it would
be nice to have the new xyz feature that lets me handle some obscure
task easier but, for the most part, I'm already set.
Maybe it's a generational thing. I like to own my media and not pay a
monthly fee for streaming and I like to own my apps. I don't mind paying
a larger fee up front and then decide down the road, when I'm good and
ready, to pay again because the developer has added enough new things
that are valuable to me. Actually, there are free apps where I wish I
had the option to pay and avoid all the in-app purchase/advertising junk.

It is true that change is a constant, and that we all have to be able to adapt

whatever changes come our way. If you don't critically evaluate change and
advocate for what you believe is right, you have no one but yourself to blame
if you end up with a future that you do not like. You can't always stop it,
but you can at least be a voice at the table.

I don't exactly see how this is a bad thing for users, but keep on keeping on,
I suppose yes, the ads suck, but it's called change. Everybody needs to adapt.

Yep, this is a great thing for the developers, a not so great thing for the
users. In my case, if my only choice is to subscribe, I will simply not
purchase.

Daring Fireball (which, I think it’s fair to say, is a PR arm for Apple) just

Thank God ads are only in the States, for now. But it, and the whole concept
of subscription pricing, is a disappointment to me, and not what I buy Apple
for. Still, it fits in pretty nicely with a lot of the other recent things
Apple have been doing, so I probably shouldn’t be surprised. It’s just a
shame, is all.
