Depends on what you're getting. I have some 'lifetime subscriptions' that allow me to keep copies of whatever these companies are selling access to, which means that it's in part up to me what I take from the deal and keep until the end of my lifetime.

The lifetime deals that work out, are worth it.

Hitting a bet on the appsumo startup casino can be fun.

I have a few tools quietly that have remained lifetime, like brain.fm.

Supporting what you think will win, early is a risk and an opportunity.

I think reneging on a lifetime signup is really petty. I strongly suspect that they don't actually constitute much of a drain, and they are folks that had faith, and supported the company, early on.

Had a few apps that become subscription and lifetime is given to the early subscribers including free upgrades
