USdbaAA is going to do things the US/CO way: monetize every customer at every turn. And they will do it THEIR way.
Get used to it.
Neither throwing a tantrum nor playing weird reverse-psychology games with AA are going to change that (although it appears to have at least gotten VFTW some clicks and attention).
We are living through a paradigm shift in frequency programs. Nothing we customers can do will change that.
Show me a blogger that is focusing on how to live through the shift and prepare for the other side and I'll subscribe today.
The rest is just listening to either shrieks of panic and/or the trio playing “Nearer My God to Thee” as the Titanic sinks.
