Cool! Buy an application bundle for a hundred bucks or so, and be on the hook for around $1000 in apps in a year when you forget to cancel.

Can someone explain Ad Remover to me? Why would I need a $40 per year subscription when uBlock does it for free? The same with this WinZip program, there are open source alternatives which do the same thing?
