I’ve used most available services, but discontinued one after another along with promises that a better user experience will be provided with reduced content and removed functionality with the slight price hike. YouTube was my first and last video service I paid for, only Spotify remains on the borderline.

This is stupid. Kick out a customer? Guess €0 per month is better than €7

Greedy fucks

I do not understand the position where companies first provide a good service and and than later reduces the experience and functionality. YouTube especially, when they are providing a platform but not the content.

Their AI would easily see that I more or less gave them free money since I wasn’t a high consumer putting any load on their data centers. I paid to remove the worst ads around to just see a few trailers and videos for the kids.

Twitter has taught us that the vast majority, once committed to a platform, will tolerate endless abuse and never leave. So companies treat you real nice to get you in the door so they can piss all over you later.

Do a search for “embrace extend extinguish” to learn more.
