In this day and age, they will charge you as much as they think they can get away, and then double dip with showing you ads, and triple dip with selling your data.

The "ads subsidize the product" line was real years ago. But as always, it's never enough.

Just look at streaming services. They started to show ads or make you pay even more to get rid of ads.

The line must go up, fuck everyone.

"The line must go up, fuck everyone" is a perfectly succinct description of capitalism, thank you for that.
