I’m not saying I can’t afford $5 per month. I just don’t like subscriptions. Even for my Windoze anti-virus I buy a new licence each 12/18 months rather than renewing.
Well, you know, the actual point is that I really WANT to give Jolla more money as I understand that they need more. But not via monthly subscription that I TRULY HATE and won’t force myself to do it. Hence my request to keep a one-time payment as an additional option. If it’s gone, then I will be literally FORCED to provide Jolla with less funds than what I’ve been doing so far, as having no possibility to pay them one-time fee of some $50 (or $60 or whatever else it might be) and not accepting monthly subscriptions, I will be left with no other choice but what you’re suggesting, i.e. give them $5 at start and then $5 per update, i.e. quite possibly not more than $15 per year. Silly, isn’t it?
