I got a bone to pick with this kind of statement. Before they started raising prices exorbitantly, the techbros (mainly) all over social media would bite my head off for even suggesting their beloved tech companies would dare do so such things. It was a minority of voices who said they would inevitably follow the cable model. Did that ever chap some asses.
