And yet we keep tabs on it.

and it remains unscathed

Edit: Bad source was bad. I’ll take my L.

Yea for sure, however if they went from a user paying from $5 into $10, and then later $10 to now $20, now they just need 1 user for the price of many.

Also, despite a short-term wave of rage-drops from their service, they know they’ll eventually get a new wave of users later on who never knew anything different and the cycle continues.

Of course they do this incrementally so they don’t lose out too much of their base, but all of the services are going up. It’s going to continue to happen and probably quicker than some people realize. It’s happening everywhere

Kinda expected it soon. Well, it’s $11.

There are more egregious examples out there.

I think the duo should be more like 13 or 14 but meh.

I could see this going the way of price increases happening quicker now.

That would not be cool.

To be fair, it’s like therapy for a breakup, and we all know who the ex is.

That’s likely more accurate than not. The road to better pay increases across the board is sadly often paved with bitter workers who left for greener pastures.

But that leverage is more worker-centric at higher compensation levels. If you have hard-to-find talent you gain leverage in your ability to advocate for what you want/need.

It’s all anecdotes but I’ve found that jumping has raised me incrementally, but I’ve never had a job I’ve truly mastered, nor have I had a job where they rewarded longevity.

So those two variables mean it’s continuously adapting and learning but not mastering anything yet (in order to grow and survive)
