Yah literally everyone with more than two brain cells saw this coming…start out cheap to suck you in to kill competition and then raise prices every quarter…
I got a bone to pick with this kind of statement. Before they started raising prices exorbitantly, the techbros (mainly) all over social media would bite my head off for even suggesting their beloved tech companies would dare do so such things. It was a minority of voices who said they would inevitably follow the cable model. Did that ever chap some asses.
I was right.
Quite frankly the period roughly spanning the 2010s was wild with how enamored everyone was with tech companies.
Hahahaha oh my god, i remember those conversations and I also remember taking the same stance you did and told everyone that would listen it was only a matter if time before the honeymoon phase ends and the extortion begins…hell wasn’t there a meme going around back in the 2000’s that showed this exact thing happening
Yup, while attacking the older generation from educating the young about the good things in the past, can’t let those pleb kids have physical bank notes.
