    Well stated. I think a lot of corporate action nowadays, especially with any industry connected to the internet, is based on similar logic. “How can we squeeze maximum (profit/market share/growth)? If we go too far, we can always undo it thanks to the internet.”

    I wonder how long it’ll be until BMW reintroduces the Heated Seats subscription, or GM changes their legalese to allow them to sell your driving data to 3rd party companies? Those corporate moneygrabs were rolled back due to consumer outrage recently but they’ll probably be back in some form in the next five years.
