> As-a-service models are rent seeking grift and doomed to failure once a sufficient portion of the population becomes tech literate I don't think the tech literacy in western countries will change much. And it has nothing to do with the as-a-service model, which makes a lot of sense in many scenarios, on both the seller's side (predictable cashflow, finances updating old(er) software instead of churning new services/products that need to sell) and the buyers' ( you know you keep getting updates and the provider can't just not fix a serious issue). Why wouldn't a cloud sync service be as a service? You're literally paying for an ongoing thing ( storage somewhere). |

Reminder: they want you to pay for using someone else's storage that you've already paid for. Namely Dropbox.
If they just offered their own cloud sync service for a subcription, as opposed to hiding all useful features behind it, nobody would have complained.
