My point is that this is especially egregious. Devaluations happen. Devaluations like this, so soon after a feature launch with the feature itself being the key savior of another devaluation? That's a pretty unique circumstance that makes this stand out in the history of devaluations.
Delta has devalued so many times without notice that it's hard to pinpoint one specific egregious example anymore.

Just a few examples from over the years. Do you see the themes in the headlines? No notice and massive devaluation. I'm not here to defend Chase. I think I'm the first to report the Edit devaluation on FF and I'm certainly disappointed. But what Chase has done is nowhere near how egregious Delta has been over the decades.
