I've had several lifetime subscriptions that have been made into paid monthly subscriptions. Lifetime subscription is a gamble that I have yet to see pay off.

It also CAN'T be good for you long-term. Eventually providers start losing money on you. Which means they fail, or they start looking for other ways to monetize you that you probably won't like.

Like, say, Plex.

I choose yearly when I can for this kind of thing.
