I’ll just add that BBY and Michael’s business mode is to use the Anchoring effect year round, so they can constantly offer 40-60% “discounts”. If you paid full price for anything at those stores (BBY is out of business, but still) you got ripped off.

That’s my point. This restaurant is try to bait and switch their customers by giving a misleading food price and adding a service charge. It is like a cell phone company adding garbage fees.

Because these three provide federated login most email providers do not.

They are probably talking about using it to share CSAM or other illegal content. They need one person to login to be not anonymous so they can give it to the authorities if necessary.

Yep. The business model has always been “Lure them in and stifle competition with a low initial cost. Then when we have the market we can jack up the price.” Enshitification at its best.

I don’t think Apple feels compelled to grace “the rest of your subscription” when you are on a free trial.
