    No knock on Proton, but there have been a lot of “lifetime membership” deals these last few years that wind up forgotten after corporate decides number should go up.
    I’ll consider “lifetime payments” when corpos offer a legal contract specifying what their remedy will be when “lifetime” winds up meaning “when corporate loses interest”.

      For the most part this is how it works. One notable exception is I am now 14 years into my lifetime plex pass

      My lifetime jetbrains, lifetime Alfred both gone, countless small apps too. Lifetime unraid I had to convert once after 10 years but is stable now

      Yeah, I might consider this if it came with VPN too but this doesn’t really seem worth it. I still remember my “lifetime” LogMeIn licenses…
