Everything wants me to pay rent - Lemmy.World

I don’t see how that’s a “boomer” complaint lol I’m a millennial and don’t know anyone that’s excited to pay monthly fees for something they already bought

I blame iPhone and Android apps that required developers to keep paying a $100 minimum yearly fee to keep an app in the App Store.

There were tons $1-$5 apps in the early days of the stores, but 3-4 years in they switched to either freemium subscriptions or adware (or ad ransom models).
