If you make that argument about the state of software in general, I'd agree to an extent in the sense that it should be more prioritized. But I don't see how that applies to open source in particular?

In those aspects proprietary software is just as bad, if not even worse. The difference is simply that the default choice of software for most tasks is a proprietary software. They can have a shit ton of unusable and confusing mess, even intentional dark patterns, but users will adapt.

    I didn't find a word that on its own echos this exact situation. However if you leave out the details, you won't need a lot of words either, e.g.:

    Oh yeah, awkward coincidence the other day — I ran into Sebastian McGillicuddy wearing the same T-shirt as last time lol. Hate when that happens.

    But it's certainly a more interesting and vivid story with the details you gave us. Much like Michael McGillicuddy's infamous 'Genesis of McGillicutty' promo :)

    Subscription-based services are in general worth the money, if

    1. you can cancel the subscription any time
    2. you use it, because you actually want it
    3. you know exactly what you get out of it

    E.g. it doesn't matter shit how much content on Netflix is terrible, if I use it for one month precisely for that one new show, a new season or a few movies I'm interested - just about anything that makes up an actual reason to starting the subscription.
