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.

These companies are really shooting themselves in the foot with this shit.

Lol, to show our appreciation for being a paid member here's a one month free trial that we give everyone regardless.

Yes it's a joke but I have the option to just leave, worse would be if you are dependent on the platform in some way.

I don't see why companies should show you any appreciation except what you pay for or what you are given in return for your services, it would be nice but I do not demand it.

If you don't like it, leave it, or make a plan you can ditch it.
