I prefer a subscription style. I'd be irritated if I had a bunch of software asking me for money at random times. Just let me pay once and then remind me in a year. I do this with LibreOffice. Except now it just bills me every year automatically using fiat. I have to manually do it for some other software and will use Bitcoin when it is an option. Also, what constitutes a major release? I can imagine a lot more release would be labelled as major this way. I much prefer to just pay a dev a larger amount for a year rather than release to release. It seems like this would give them more run way like a real salary if enough people do it.
What do you think about my way as a dev?
