Exactly! It really does feel like we're in "late stage capitalism" here with so many companies (definitely not just streaming services) just saying "fuck it!" and going all in on greedily milking consumers while they still can,  before the whole thing collapses. Beyond my own inbox, there's been so many headlines lately about companies aggressively upping prices, changing terms and conditions, etc.
