Why does everything need to be a subscription.

Sell me a product, like a JavaScript book or some merch.

Or just put up the donation link. I do want to give y'all money, but a recurring subscription is too much.

Yeah, automatic subscriptions are terrible. What if you stop using it for a few months or years? Do you un and re subscribe each time? You'll need a spreadsheet to keep track of all these things.

A lifetime subscription for a few hundred bucks seems like it would make more sense. Or paying per use, like a cent per page. Easier for accounting and for peace of mind.

Love those lifetime subscriptions, or ones that at least let you do more than 1 year up front but not on auto-renew.
