Wojtek over at Infinite Diaries suggests that: to alleviate concerns over “renting software” instead of owning a copy, Ulysses (in this example) should still be fully functional when a user ceases paying their subscription What they wouldn't get, in his scenario, is app up... colinwalker.blog

@colinwalker I agree, that wouldn't work, although I wonder how many truly scuzzy people.e there are that would be prepared to do that. And wouldn't they be trackable, say through the payment they offer? I can't remember exactly how Day One is doing things, but I am very happy with Classic, as they call it, which is not being maintained.

@jeremycherfas But when the subscription system allows you to sign up and cancel whenever you want they're not technically doing anything wrong.

@colinwalker Lots of things aren't technically wrong, and yet people exercise moral judgement.

@jeremycherfas Judging by the 1⭐️ reviews on the App Store there are people whose moral judgement is... questionable.
