Older dude question here: are students so wealthy nowadays they can spend that much money every month for a single service? Heck, back in my 20s I could not afford most books I was required to read for university (I love you, libraries & used book stores). I also befriended the girl selling the tickets at the cinema, so she would let me in for free (plus, she was a cool gal too, I was not that hypocritical ;)

Also, if we are to adopt EU AI instead of the US-based ones shouldn't they try their hardest to get more customers by lowering their price? Even more so in regards to younger customers, aka potentially very long-term customers. Or did I miss something?

To me, those so called 'reduced' pricing are more like a worrying sign there is a growing disconnect between some businesses and their customers.
