I pay for email, and blog hosting, and a fair few software subscriptions because:

- I want companies to be able to pay their employees and continue offering the service I enjoy

- I want to not feel like a burden if/when I do need support

- I want to not be the product sold to advertisers

I have an iPhone app that I depend on for one of my hobbies, but because they never successfully monetized it, it’s abandonware, and I have to just hope that Apple never breaks it with an OS upgrade.
