Just as art invites diverse interpretations, the valuation of a developer's code reflects not only their creativity but also their intent, which includes innovation, effectiveness, market influence, financial goals, and more.

I prefer to operate under a subscription model because it provides mutual benefits for both the customer and the developer. Customers enjoy a product that is continuously maintained and improved, while developers receive compensation for their ongoing efforts.

I believe it’s unethical to sell a product and then cease support for it - essentially disappearing without ongoing communications, failing to provide fixes, or making empty 'coming soon' promises. Unfortunately, it is mostly customers who bear the consequences of this negligence, as they are left with unsupported and inferior lifetime products.

Moreover, it's crucial to recognize that these transactions involve money, necessitating vigilance and thorough research (trials, forums, discord). Both the customer buying the script and the developer selling it are seeking to benefit, which can sometimes lead to exploitation.

This 100%.
1. It keeps the developer motivated, no working product = no sales.
2. It's more future proof, with monthly you can easily increase/decrease the price as the script grows, without people getting pissed.
3. It's reoccuring, the long reward instead of the short one.

Most technology companies (not all though) run on subscription models as it's an easily sustainable model.

It makes month-month finances easier to predict, and in the case of scripters it can help keep them motivated to continually fix and improve their work.

Some prefer larger one-off payments, some like having a mixture. 

This isn't a new thing in the botting scene, so I'm guessing you're relatively new to botting?

From a user perspective, it's great having the option of monthly and lifetime.

Monthly allows a user to have a reasonable go at a given script, and if they intend to use it long-term can switch to lifetime.
*Lifetime meaning as long as the scripter remains active in Dresmbot and as long as the Dreambot client exists*
