    Didn’t… didn’t they just do this?

    Man, ad free is gonna get fucking expensive over time. I can already see how they will weight the ad tier at “just $9.99” at some point when ad free 4k is $31.99 or something crazy.

      People will remain subscribed because a $2 increase every few months doesn’t feel as bad as a $30 increase in one go.

      Frogs in boiling water and all that…

      “The ad-free tier. Look man, don’t even ask about cost. This is one of those situations where if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.”

        Was taught that if someone asks the price, they’re concerned with wanting to pay it.
