They’ll always make some promise on price to get you to accept the ridiculous proposal upfront. Then, when it becomes the norm they’ll be jacking prices up to what they were before when you had legroom.

Remember how Netflix and streaming services were supposed to be cheaper and ad free? Now it’s more expensive than cable and the ads are back. Never believe a capitalist won’t take every opportunity to squeeze more profits out of his business.
