In the wake of Twitter banning third-party clients, Tweetbot and Twitterrific are giving subscribers the option of not asking for pro-rated refunds that could drive the small companies behind them into bankruptcy.
I’m a firm supporter of small businesses so I agree with the idea of not requesting a refund. However, Gruber’s analogy is wrong because app subscriptions are a pre-payment while salaries pay for work already done.
