Seems like a lot of companies are testing how much they can get away with lately.
Yes and people are paying unfortunately Netflix succeeded and now everyone is trying ads 😔
So I'm really confused about the whole Netflix thing. It hasn't asked me to set a household location and the whole no password sharing thing was supposed to have taken effect back in May, right? Since May, my family has continued to use Netflix as if nothing has changed and we said if they try to charge us extra, we will cancel. Our Netflix is regularly used at 4 different "households" and they have yet to charge a fee and have not automatically set a household like they claimed they would.

This happens when you have to grow endlessly and hit a ceiling (in this case, number of users). Then you have to squeeze those users further so the numbers go up again. Of course you are killing the product in the long run because more and more users cancel but that's not a big deal to the people making the decisions. (Well, the people doing actual work might object but nobody cares about them.) The shareholders that got obscenely rich will just leech onto the next big thing and the CEOs sail to their next product to ruin with a huge golden parachute. Rinse and repeat. Meanwhile, civilisation crumbles and decays, before it burns in the sadly inevitable climate catastrophe.
You are incorrect though. Netflix and Uber (or any ride sharing app) have shown once people are hooked they will pay the increased rate to consume the product.
But Amazon crumbling isn't civilisation crumbling... In fact, it opens doors for more small business owners.
Call it what is is: GREEDFLATION.
Or maybe capitalism?
Nah, at this point anything subscription related is technofeudalism
Actual management strategy is "you don't know what your boundaries are until you push against them"

This is why it's so important not to get tired and quit, but instead to always push back.
