Google, YouTube, Microsoft, Adobe, Amazon, Twitch, Netflix, etc, every major subscription based company is raising their prices, now with unskippable ads.

Wasn't the whole point of tech companies firing 1000 workers a month to "scale back" and "using AI" to make everything cheaper and more efficient?

Why are they ALL raising their subscription prices AT THE SAME TIME? And what's with those unskippable ads?

How do we stop this?

At work we're canceling cable service and pushing people to use streaming.
I wish so badly that I could encourage them to pirate... It'd be a public service at this point.

The purpose of a private corporation is to generate increasing profits for shareholders. Subscription models that reach saturation have only one way to continue the ever increasing profit targets, price increases.
If you don't want this to be the case then be a leftist and push for making them publicly owned by the government.
That being said citizens united effectively erased any ability Americans have over deciding their politicians so now the government also serves shareholders. Oops!

>>108576948
I like the idea but its not indians, it's public corporations, the line must go up
And its the obvious conclusion to what happens once you have no alternatives and you can't see yourself living without your subscriptions
Never subscribed, never will
Good riddance

Porn sites used to do this with the 99 cent weekend trial. You had to call them directly to unsubscribe or get changed to a monthly subscription.

Illegal outside of The United Sharts of Muttistan and something I've never experienced. In fact, the only time I ever got charged for something unexpectedly was when I accidentally let a Deliveroo+ free trial run into a paid month by forgetting to cancel it. I contacted them about it and they refunded me. It's nice to have consumer protection laws, as whilst our politicians are kike puppets as well, they're not QUITE as brazenly corrupt as muttoid ones, who openly despise the people and take bribes with zero pushback or consequence.

Just use media packages like kool.to for movies and series and iptv, its all in it, every language and if you dont use dezor as browser its free. It works on fire tv and android tv and on the rest of devices you could imagine

>Watching YouTube
There is nothing worth watching on the site anymore. I block ads on my laptop, but everything is a 30+min video essay of some redditor reading a niche Wikipedia article with bland editing and music. The only thing I use YouTube for is to play old Zero Punctuation compilations to fall asleep to. If those stop working, I will simply download them and never use the site again.
>>
>>108576948
now go look at your actual feed. have you noticed fewer videos? youtube payouts are WAY down. same with adsense. google isn't paying creators, so they're making fewer videos. AI needs all the money, so they're killing the content that AI trains on.

holy shit there's actually going to be an economic collapse at this rate. in 2018 it was $10 per month now it's going to be $16, a 60% increase in just 8 years is unheard of. whatever happened during covid really destroyed the economy and there's no coming back at this point.

No, because they're hiring twice as many retarded, parasite-infested, 60-IQ jeets in India. Seriously just filter search results for indian news and you'll find all the jeet CEOs are just fully replacing you. You've been infiltrated and replaced by parasites.
>>
>>108578854
it's a no brainer
1,450,000,000 indians
0,340,000,000 americans
indian population mogs americans, even if only 1/4 are smarter than the average american you're coming out ahead by shopping for brains in another rabbit-breeding country like india or china.
