Yeah. No. Everyone hates those. Today you have the moolah, tomorrow you're out of luck. Once subscription runs out - you're also out of your tools.

The issue I would have is: when your subscription runs out, do you get your data back?

Adobe blocked Venezuela - suddenly all these subscriptions became worthless. Which pretty much confirms that corps can make whatever excuse they can to shut your subscription down, money or not.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
