but you forgot how businesses work these days:

Fuck you, Pay me




Right, I really miss the good ol' days when business was all "Hey guy, I like you, here's some free stuff."


As opposed to the good ol' days when businesses all incorporated as 501(3)c's, funneling their funds to widows and orphans?


That's how all businesses have worked since the beginning of time.


No, that was just "pay me for this service/good". Most businesses who ventured into "fuck you" territory would soon be out of business because disgruntled customers opens up opportunities for competition to rise.

Sadly, you don't have that anymore with today's economy-of-scale effects.
