I ‘subscribe’ by paying a low monthly rate to help the dev fund, and I can constantly download latest builds on to check out the newest tools and bug fixes, and I can get really good feedback on ideas for improvements and bug issues. This all actually very closely resembles the environment of a certain OSS that I love - Blender. I also can now get feedback on bug tickets and they actually answer me. That was until I did a few years of Adobe subscription for my day job, and experienced the feed of updates from Adobe for each of the apps I use, including new tools (finally, old days meant years between new tool introduction) and bug fixes. I get the desire to both get new updates and still retain the original value invested in the software - I too was at first against the subscription model.
