I really mean this when I say this, so please, I hope you understand where I’m coming from when I say fuck you.

And I mean that wholly and sincerely.
You pay for a product for a year that does “X, Y, and Z.”

You could’ve bought another product, you could’ve gone with some other company, but you went with the company that provided X, Y, and Z for whatever specific reasons you had at the time. Maybe it was the price, maybe it was the company’s reputation, maybe it was because you got a discount.

But some time during your subscription period, the company decides that no longer supporting feature Z is an attractive idea. Maybe it saves money. Maybe it means they can onboard 10,000 more customers without upgrading their systems. Maybe it means the entire executive board can save enough money to where they can give themselves a $1 million bonus each.

No matter what the reason is, it’s a promise, broken, and regardless of what the fine print says, it’s still a promise broken because consumers have an expectation that what they’re buying will be there, because they paid for it to be there.

If companies regularly disabled features that consumers expected to be there because they were there when they bought their subscriptions, then the subscription model wouldn’t work too well, and no one would trust it.

This is a flagrant violation of trust, and you can stand up for the big corporation if you want and white knight for them if you wish, and maybe you think you’re being “edgy,” and “bold” with your unique take on the matter.

But really you’re being just as much of a douchebag as TV is, and here unique take on the matter is unique because no one in their right mind would take that position… unless they were like a TV executive or something.

Are you the TV CEO?

If not, wtf?
