It shits me to no end when people blindy defend paying increasingly ridiculous amounts for a worsening product.

If a company like for example my power company can just arbitrarily raise my rates because they feel like it when it's not like I can switch to another one...there is no competition for this. For no other purpose than to increase revenue for shareholders, then rest assured if I can find a way to get the same thing for less I will do it. Just funny how they are perfectly fine price gouging people but people who retaliate are the bad ones. |

Is raising the prices on a product people are willing to pay for that they have the choice to not pay for morally corrupt? Everyone would be much happier if they would keep this in their brain: Corporations exist for one reason and one reason only, to make money. Our capitalist system affords us ways to affect prices by "voting" with our business. Don't like the price of a product, don't "vote" for that product by purchasing it, but don't actively steal it and drive prices further upward for those that do enjoy the product.

Gee, I wonder why Netflix is raising prices. I wonder if it has anything to do with how many people share their accounts with friends and family? |
