This is no doubt a difficult one, as we all know these days there's a subscription for just about everything. I have one for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Kayo, Spotify blah blah blah. The thing that is frustrating is that I think these major services overcharge by a big margin.
This means that when SGP or something similar that might need to move towards a subscription based model to survive - we're already bleeding off so much for all these different services that it becomes too much.
Personally, I am happy to pay for a reasonably priced subscription for something like SGP. Because let's be honest, astrophotography has such a niche and limited market they might need it. It's great that there are alternatives out there as well, creating competition and ensuring that they deliver a top product to remain competitive.
