Not saying this is the reason at all, but personally speaking sell me something that is not a subscription based service. I will make a handful of exceptions but not more. All these companies relying on Nitro, Prime, Premium, Plus as if anyone wants to add yet another subscription to their bill. Meanwhile companies like Apple and Nvidia are releasing new high-end products that I can buy and not think about.


Apple sells six or seven different subscription services including tv, music, photo storage, and fitness.

They obviously don't think that selling subscriptions is a bad idea.


"Not saying this is the reason at all"

But also, Apple is not relying on Fitness+ to survive unlike Discord with Nitro.
