Same (as with many other brands too).

Sadly the amount of quitters isn't nearly equal to the amount of extra gain those fuckers make due to people who are ignorant to their power as a consumer to vote by purchase-decision.

I think most of them just haven't noticed when it happened. Same with other products. You need to be a person that has bought the product some times in the past and the type of person to check how much you actually get (the amount of content) to realize something like that when it happens. Even if they realized at some point or got told by another person it probably doesn't affect a person as much anymore as a person wo saw through that the second it happened since they might think "Well I have been using it the last few weeks/months etc and I was still satisfied"

True. I made the mistake of thinking that everyone is a critical shopper and always aware of the prices/sizes of things. There probably are enough people just buying stuff they need without further analyzation.

Yet they also do fit in my point. The quitters aren't the bigger group and hence quitting was futile (in the sense of exercising your vote by an active choice of purchase versus boycott).

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
