I’ve always hated the subscription model. From coffee capsules and music to software. It is nothing more than a way to keep you in the fold. In the end you never own it.
You should at a minimum have accumulated some level of a product that is useful, if you decide to stop paying.
the worst I can’t seem to avoid, is account “services” if you don’t pay, they’ll just lock you out of your “own” books! FFS!
I agree it should be illegal!
