Not an investment, an exchange of goods and services.

I’m not owed explanation if my local gas station closes down and I bought a tank of gas from them the day before.

A subscription is different from a one-off exchange. The expectation is for it to continue.

Tell that to my local newspaper. Most things come to an end at some point.

I would feel like the local newspaper should tell me why they are shutting down, if it wasn't already obvious because they're a newspaper. Wouldn't you?

That's what we're talking about here, not forcing them to stay up somehow.
