    What? If you require a hammer to do work you refuse to pay for hammer?

      A subscription isn’t buying a hammer. A subscription is buying access to a hammer. Access that can be revoked at any time. That’s not very reliable.

      If you require a hammer to do work, you just buy a hammer that you can use for the rest of time or until you buy a better hammer.

      You don’t pay $10 dollars a month for the rest of time for the same hammer you could have just paid for previously. Especially since HammerCo might up the price, go out of business, or flat out stop offering the hammer subscription you rely on, and you lose access to your vital resource.

      What a dumb argument.

      When you shove crayons up your nose and you’re only paying a subscription for those crayons, you’re going to have to return the crayons after the subscription ends

      But see if you bought those crayons, you could leave them up there as long as you’d like.
