They'll always play right on or just over the line to see when/how people push back. They knew what they were doing, they started at a 9 intentionally so that people push back to and live with a 7

MS really has always done this, what's the name for this kind of marketing maneuver? Manufactured consent? Manufactured begrudging tolerance?

Like politics, were adding 200% to this inconvenience!

Then rolling back to "only" 50% (the initial target).

I mean... Yeah? That's kind of the point isn't it? Test the waters and figure out just how far they can push it? Find the limit of acceptance and ride that?
