That's just how subscription models work.

Lure, hook, boil.

Lure new customers, hook them with convenience and dependency, boil them with slowly increasing prices so they don't notice they are being skinned alive for all they are worth while the service quality decreases. It has been like this since time immemorial and it is the only reason that first month, first time user promotions exists.
