That is the "residual income" business model that became popular a couple decades ago, Sir.
You'll starve if you build a service/product that you can only sell one time. Go look at the Android/Apple store now. Mostly "subscription" based apps. My boss gave me a big lecture on the subscription model business plan back decades ago when it got popular. I was writing software for a large corporation and the software was buy-it-and-us-it-til-it-quits, then go buy the new version (if you want to). Not enough money in that. The boss wanted a software that you bought then paid a monthly subscription, or it locked. Sometimes we call that "ransomware".
I did a service call to a client in 2020. He was a lawyer and the courts began requiring all documents to be filed online. He called screaming because he couldn't connect to the state courts website portal to file his cases. I discovered his connectivity problem immediately. I kid you not, this was 2020 now, the lawyer (who charges $360 per hour) was running Windows 98 on all his office PC's.
See Bill Gates figured out decades ago if you sold a software that could be used for 25 years, you'd go bankrupt.
Mark figured it out, too.
So to buy his stickers and use his logo, you have to pay perpetually.
