Why are so many companies switching to subscription-based services?
Lately I've been seeing subscription plans everywhere, even for products that used to require just a single payment. Do you think this shift is actually improving the customer experience by offering ongoing updates and support, or is it mostly a strategy for businesses to generate predictable income over the long term?

I think the answer depends on whether the subscription delivers continuous value. If new features, improvements, and support are added regularly, paying over time can be more reasonable than buying something once and never seeing updates again. I came across an article on https://thereaderstone.com/why-subscription-businesses-are-replacing-one-time-sales/ that explains why recurring models have become so common, and it gave a balanced view of the advantages for both customers and businesses.
