  • Squeeze the existing users for cash.

    The enterprises will just pay it. It’ll be cheaper than a migration for critical servers.

    Corps pull the same gameplay each time:

    1. Buy product
    2. Jack prices to the roof
    3. Kill R&D and enshittify support to minimize cost
    4. Extract profit until other products make a higher profit margin
    5. Shutdown support and repeat with a new product





  • All that paying does is prove you’ll pay whatever they want. Just like a blackmailer, it’s never enough. They always escalate in their attempts to extract “value”.

    It’s the same damn story, time after time. “Oh, we put a few ads to cover expenses - it’ll be limited, we promise.” 3 months later: “We have a premium plan that hides ads.” Another 3 months: “We now have informational banners on premium for our own content. Since it’s our own, it’s totally not an ad!”

    Then just: “Pay us a monthly rate and get served ads.”

    It’s like fucking clockwork with these ghouls.
