Talk:Subscription business model

message: "A pay-as-you-go subscription where you subscribe to purchase a product periodically."
Is this really the right terminology? I've only ever seen that phrase used for non-subscription services where payment is not automated. That's seemingly implied by the phrasing too, pay as you go. A subscription pays regardless of any going. If anything, that description seems to simply describe a straight subscription model of automatically paying for a product at regular intervals in an ongoing contract. Whereas the only use of pay-as-you-go I've ever seen, is as the name implies, paying only as your need arises (by depleting an allowance/quota) instead of by month or year.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.15.214.145 (talk) 14:40, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

text: Support. I see little reason as to why the more complicated "subscription business model" title is better that "subscription." The lead section will need a minor edit after the change, but I see "subscription" as a term more people are familiar with. Additionally, the contents of the article would still match the new title. A move seems appropriate in this case for simplicity. aaronneallucas (talk) 05:23, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Most of the article consists of statements that are not backed by citations.  It reads as though someone wrote it based on their understanding of the subscription business model, and later on various editors added bits, sometimes giving citations for the bits they added.  It needs to be improved by adding inline citations that support the statements made, and/or replacing statements made with statements based on reliable sources and giving citations to those sources.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:14, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Qute a lot of the statements in the 'subscriptions' and 'effects' sections can be found in the blog/article on blackcurve  which might be a main missing source? I have added citations to this and and cut some of the text. However, there are problems with close paraphrasing. I think further text could be replaced or removed to avoid this CP problem and perhaps then the original research tag can then be reviewed ? Richarit (talk) 11:02, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
