That “discount” was the final straw for me. What’s funny is, they even undervalued their own subscription for that “discount.”

If you look at the bottom, it tells you that the discount is $.05/day remaining. That makes the $20 service valued at $18.25.

Even when they’re screwing you, they’re screwing you. Screwception. Read more
