All the mental gymnastics they do just to avoid outright increaseing prices....
Legally i dont think they could get away with charging more without explicit permission from the account holder. As a business move when they want to generally increase prices, this is basically the only correct move.
Yeah this is the key. Price hikes require notification and time for the user to opt out or cancel. Removing features suffers from minimal legal regulation.
Ways to make profit: charge more or give the customer less 🫠
My Disney price went up and I didn't get the email warning. No message or warning in app. After having their support tell me "too bad" I just cancelled it and Hulu.
