It's worse then that. They're actively profiting from that discount rate, meaning they're ludicrously profiting from everyone who doesn't spend half their life getting discount codes (the cost of convenience)
I mean most products you'd sell you're hopefully making at least 40% profit margin so everyone would still be making money. They're just banking on you sticking around and not canceling. lots of money > some money > no money
How is 2 minutes with a chat bot half of someone's life?
We humans sometimes use a rhetorical device called "hyperbole" where we use exaggeration to emphasize our point, and it's usually not meant to be taken literally. Welcome to the planet, hope you enjoy your stay.
Yes but the point you're trying to get across is this is a huge amount of effort when it's really trivial.
While I wish you a happy and healthy life, I do hope you get to experience the joys of the US Healthcare system some day to broaden your limited horizons.
Guess I'll die.
