Serious question but, do people actually pay monthly for this stuff? No hate I am just legitimately curious the reasoning people sub to services like this.
(Edit) Thanks for all the responses, never thought about it that way.
I have to support software projects that I was interested in. Usually only for a few months though. The subs can be pretty cheap such that even several months total is cheaper than a typical software purchase so you are not talking a ton of money.
Some Patrons are set up so that you really only need to donate one month so it is almost like a purchase since, up till now, Patron did not support direct purchases.
