I don't get why the article mentions this as some smart savvy business move. They are putting artificial limiters in place to squeeze money out of people. That is so anti-consumer.
What makes you think savvy business moves are supposed to be pro-consumer? They're intended to make money, not provide a quality product.
Yeah I get that. But why is a consumer focused magazine claiming that is a smart move. They are supposed to bat for the consumer not the business.
I would assume because they're not as consumer focused as they claim.
Savvy business is squeezing money out of people.
Thats why capitalism is a scourge on our society
Yeah I get that. But why is a consumer focused magazine claiming that is a smart move. They are supposed to bat for the consumer not the business.
Now you know they’re not consumer focused. Just because someone says they’re something doesn’t mean that they are that thing. Watch what people and organisations do. Don’t listen to what they say. Best advice I ever got.
At this point, society has given capitalism enough rope to hang itself, and it has done so so.
People refuse to see the rotting corpse it left, they will keep sending more rope to the address listed on the subscription until the credit card declines payment.
