JUST TODAY I was going to buy WinRar. I've used the software forever, for free, and I just thought... I appreciate this, they've never given me grief, and I'm going to pay them.

And I went on their page to subscribe for a lifetime membership, and they wanted 20 bucks, which I was okay with, but it does not include Major Updates! I guess I'll buy it and just click the do not check for updates button but that seemed kind of, I don't know.

I still think they're pretty cool for not hassling you more than they do.

Am I wrong that this bothered me?

I’ll say what I say to everyone about this, WinRAR is awful. If you need a program for this, user 7Zip or Peazip. Personally, I’m 7Zip for life. 👍

Idk why users even think about buying and using winrar out of pure habit and because "I have used it since 2012"...

I wozud gladly pay 40€ instead to the 7zip maintainer. He is doing gods work with 7zip and the filemanager has way too much good features. Same for notepad++

I've been using it for, geez, around 25 years now out of habit. I should really try 7Zip.
