I’m one of those that despise subscriptions in apps, even though Apple tries to push them whenever they can. What I was not expecting is that from their winners’ list, I guess only (ironically) the app Too Good To Go, doesn’t feature that garbage business model.

Feel free to give your bets for next year. I’ll bet on AI subscription based apps 😎

    An apologist I see.

    No, devs don’t deserve an ongoing revenue stream unless they also incurr ongoing costs from providing their product (operating backend servers, etc).

      Wow. So “apologist” means defending further development.

      I take it you downvoters never coded in your lives. Or maybe you just pirate and sideload. Either way, enjoy the future.

      Thank god I’m retiring from development soon. Fuck all of this.

        Just because people don’t agree with you, it means they never coded? GTFO, I’ve written system integrations by myself using Java (so I know a bit how it works), does that makes my opinion worthy?

        Thank god I’m retiring from development soon. Fuck all of this.

        It’s because developers like you, the software world got into shit. Good bye! You won’t be missed!

          Java? Yeah been a while for you, hasn’t it?

          “Just because people don’t agree” - I love that. You disagree and you’re fair, but I disagree and I’m hostile. This whole conversation went to shit early because different opinions aren’t respected.
