@BasicAppleGuy@mastodon.social A “strategy” as old as time…notch up the price little by little, so your customers don’t fully grok how much they’re being fleeced. Even worse, the services usually are not adding a ton of value (if they add any at all), or maybe they remove value, over the period of increases. They can use any number of excuses (inflation, rising costs of infrastructure, whatever) and it is all a lie. Greed, combined with a lack of any law with the teeth to stop them, and little user choice.
