Subscriptions For Online Services Must Not Exist

Any access to data made available online are referred to as online services. These
services offer unrestricted information accessibility as well as the ability for users to interact with
one another. Online services might be straightforward or complex. A simple internet platform
can be a web browser that users can use to find the information they need, but a difficult one
could be a company's lenders application. Online services can be either compensated or free.
Customers that use a subscription model are compensated repeatedly for a good or service. Each
offer is customized to the length of time and frequency desired by the customer, and most
subscriptions allow the flexibility to renew or terminate at any time. Consider a subscription as a
legal agreement that you and the subscriber. 

But in some considerations, the subscriptions must not exist so that the accessibility of
online services can be utilized by any individual. In comparison to a one-time purchase, the
obligation of paying subscription fees may turn out to be substantially more expensive over time.
Another problem is hardware encryption, which renders a client reliant on a company's goods or
services. Some users may not afford to buy monthly subscription for them to use the online
services. Although some initial prices may be cheap if you register for subscription-based
software, you'll most likely wind-up spending more overall. Your continuous payments can be
higher than what you would have paid to buy the program outright, as you might anticipate.
Furthermore, some of the online services that has subscriptions are Netflix, YouTube, Spotify,
and even academic subscription-based services.

Another reason why subscription for online services must not exist is the privacy of the
customer or user. To access and avail a subscription, the customer must provide their personal
information especially their contact and financial information. Sometimes, the professional data
is also included. These clients may be at risk of committing identity theft, loss of money, as well
as other unfavorable risks if a company's database is breached. For both private and professional
reasons, some people are uncomfortable dealing their own information and documents.

The requirement for subscription in online services needs an innovation skill for
monitoring subscribers and their payments is one of the drawbacks of a subscription marketing
strategy for companies. Costs associated with acquiring and employing these capabilities exist.
This means that a small business might not be able to implement this strategy due to a lack of
technological expertise, personnel, and financial needs. Also unpredictable is the steady flow of
income. Due to the clients' initial reluctance of signing up, income at the starting phase may be
unclear. Freebies or a brief trial period are two ways to get around this. A high cancellation rate
is also inevitable if the company doesn't provide worthwhile goods or services or pertinent
customer relations, among other things. To prevent rejection, it is essential to consistently offer
new value to clients.

To sum it up, subscription for online services may not be favorable for all the users. The
main issue is the cost of the subscription that some people can’t afford. Also, the privacy and the
improvement of innovation skills for monitoring the subscriptions. The usage of subscription in
online services are expensive and not convenient for everyone. After all, it is still depend on how
people will utilize the online services with or without subscriptions.
