Most apps with subscriptions fail to make more than $1,000 per month
godofbiscuitssf said:zeus423 said:I don't need another monthly bill. I'm happy to pay a fair price, but I'm not paying for eternity.If an app provides an ongoing, worthwhile service, then yeah, a subscription is worth it. If a subscription is just to unlock static features, not so much.For instance, as mentioned by others, something like Netflix works as a subscription. However, the AllTrails app offers a $36 per year subscription that doesn't offer anything but additional functionality in the app, and nothing that requires an ongoing service. If they were to offer that additional functionality for a fee, and then offer map upgrades periodically for a fee, I'd be hopping on that in a heartbeat. As it stands, I don't need to subscribe to hike/bike. -
EU antitrust chief remarks about $2 billion Apple Music fine ignores Spotify dominance

The U.S. has a legal quasi-doctrine commonly referred to as "ex post facto", and it basically means that one cannot be prosecuted for breaking a law that was not enacted until after one took an action addressed by the law. There are other countries that do not follow this, and it hasn't always been respected in the U.S. either.
