>Grammarly is $150/year!! How is that not egregious?
I don't personally find Grammarly useful. But I know people who swear by it and, if it's an application that helps you write maybe every day, $150/year is nothing.
I pay more than that for Lightroom which I also use a lot.
More than that for The New York Times which I read daily.
Etc.
There's definitely a subscription version of "Does it bring you joy?" But there seems to be almost a moralistic pushback on paying for software/services things that you find useful.
I paid three month for grammaly when I was writing my MS thesis. It was useful for the extensive usage. But I canceled afterwards because it is not worth keeping.
