Rich AestheticI wish #bigTech and #Developers thought about actual new and more user friendly ways to charge for their #services. There are so many apps that are subscription based (and I agree that many should be) but I'd argue many who want to use don't becuase they need the app in the moment not continuously. A great example is flighty, I love flighty and the few times I have been able to travel post graduation I've subscribed for the month and used the service and canceled. 1/3
Another example is #Halide, I'm not a #photography is life kind of guy, but I have burst of wanting to do more with my phone camera and subscribe for the month only to use it for a few days or week and then cancel of course. Imagine doing that with dozens of apps. Constant #subscribing and unsubscribing from apps. I'm obviously not against subscriptions but currently they are designed to screw the user. Just like how #GymMemberships have been designed for decades. 2/3
I believe a #PayPerUse model or auto sub when used and canceled automatically afterwards would be much more friendly to the user. If a developers business relies on people forgetting or being too lazy to unsubscribe thats #UserHostile just like how companies track your data and the only way to figure that out before now (obviously) was to read through a novel of #TermsAndConditions which preys on the same #Vulnerabilities that #GymMemberships have preyed on. 3/3
