    Such corpo speak: “we’ll occasionally ask”…

    Will you ever occasionally lower your rates back down? If not, that’s not " occasionally asking" your beloved members for something. That’s just raising your rates because you think you can.

      And thus far he’s been proven right.

        Yeah, which admittedly is disconcerting. I think a lot of these companies think they haven’t found the limit yet, and if people do leave their services, there’s always the “it’s because X show switched to Y service” or other such nonsense that is a valid argument when the market is intentionally fragmented.
