HAY GUYS LOOK AT HOW CUSTOMERS LOVE HP AFTER THEIR SWITCH TO SUBSCRIPTION PRINTERS. WE SHOULD DO THAT TOO!
--Overheard from the Logitech C-Suite, probably
It’s just unoriginal thinking. What does every business want? Lots of cash that comes in automatically on a known schedule. How can we do that? Have our customers subscribe. What will they subscribe for? Hmm lifetime speakers? Lifetime cable replacement?
Side note business idea: subscription usb power bricks. We send you a variety of cables that work for everything. If one breaks we send you another. $30/yr
Never worry about broken cables again!
See the problem here is the price. At $30/yr that's worth considering. The problem is they'd charge $30/mth.
I use emeditor which comes 20 usd a year ( 2+ year ) . I find this editor very useful because it handles giant files like a knife butter. I used sublime editor but I stopped after nrw pricing increases without any new features ( i dont need multiple cursors which i find rarely useful ). Pricing similar but virtually nothing more useful than plain neovim. It all depends pet case
