Thoughts on a shared subscription?

It's amazing to me that so many adults in the west do not understand how inflation works

Insulting me doesn't make your argument better.

I know how inflation works. It's the concept of how growth over time de-values currency. We already had another debate about this in the past about how the US Federal Reserve tries to maintain a 2% inflation target, because that measure of slight growth encourages investment and innovation and consumer spending.

Don't treat me like an moron and expect to get away with it.

I'm not going to shed a tear that the $12.95 SE gets from me today is not worth as much as the $12.95 they got from me 20 years ago. They still have huge profit margins, far beyond that of any physical retail product.

This is really starting to come across as you arguing against me for the sake of doing so, you can not possibly believe that offering this kind of promotion would be harmful to SE. Even if it was, it would be a drop in the bucket, and it could even still be a temporary promotion and then they might have more full price subscribers later if they decide to end it.

That's called good marketing.
