They're going to try to stop me from resubscribing? I'm small time but I'll still say it: their loss.

The likely first step will be heavy discounts for paying annually rather than monthly.

Frankly, I doubt it. There's no way they want to give "heavy discounts" for anything. They want to get the maximum they possibly can, period.

At most, you might get a discount equivalent to about a dollar a month. Whooo, I save $12 by committing for a full year.

Heavy discounts can be reworded as sharp increases to monthly.

A couple months ago, prior to the latest season of Better Call Saul, I signed up for AMC+ to catch up on old episodes. I was very surprised to see _none_ were available to watch. Furthermore, there’s a banner warning now at the stop stating the latest season (now over) is only available until August 30th.

I’m not sure what happens after that, but the assumption that all released episodes will always be available is no longer true.
