Quote:Paranoid conjecture.
Essentially, I am no longer getting what I'm paying for.
Quote:No. What I trust that these soulless corporations want to actually make money. Alienating most of your customers seems like a rather stupid idea in that regard. You all seem to believe the first thing they will do is go all scorched Earth. Getting 2/3 of your clients to to leave in disgust helps them how exactly?
And might I add, you have a worrying degree of trust in soulless, valueless corporate entities to do the right thing.
Money drives the soulless corporations. Hurting and offending people who are possible customers is bad practice. Sell expensive items to small groups makes money. Selling more less expensive items to far more people makes far more money.
Fun as crushing the permanently victimized 'little guy' is... its just not profitable. If AOL makes you pay for each for e-mail and the other service won't people are going to switch.
Doing the 'right thing' isn't what I trust soulless corporations to do. Making prophits is what I expect them to do.
