@ag94 you oh my god!

Alexander Galitsky · Answer

It has no future

Answer

Sustainability will be crucial. Brands that can offer value without overwhelming customers with too many options will stand out.

Milo Nathaniel Thorne · Answer

It still has a future, just evolving. Subscriptions provide predictable revenue and data insights on customers. Key is delivering ongoing value through exclusive content, features, discounts, etc to retain subs long-term. Also offering multiple plan tiers and flexible terms. Personalization and community are big trends too. Not going away but the model will adapt as consumer expectations change.

Christopher Allen Scott · Answer

I think subscription models definitely have a future, but only if they provide real ongoing value. Too many subscription services out there that aren't worth it after the initial signup perks. The ones that will last are those that customers find indispensable month after month, year after year. Curious what others think though - any subscription services you can't live without?

@ag94 and I’m a believer 
We’ll have a good time discussing over that.

@ag94 Can’t get enough! Can we connect over linkedin?

Aduma Emmanuel · Answer

I think we'll see more hyper-personalized subscriptions. As AI and data analytics improve, companies will tailor offerings to individual preferences and needs.

Answer

The future looks bright, but success will depend on providing ongoing value. Customers won’t stick around unless the product evolves with their needs.

Baseer · Answer

@ag94 Why so?

Answer

I see more flexibility coming in—like pay-as-you-go or hybrid models—where users only pay for what they actually use.

Emma Noah · Answer

I believe we'll see increased integration of subscription services with other digital platforms, creating seamless experiences for users across different services.

Answer

I personally believe they will be much more prevalent, allowing for everybody to sell subscriptions to specialised AI systems, based upon their own knowledge and knowhow. With initiatives such as ours (see below), it's certainly becoming much easier. https://ainiro.io/ai-expert-system
