It’s the same as the “protect the kids” argument for policing overreach… never about actually protectinp, all about overreaching

I’d say it’s certainly possible for the economics and business strategy to shift in a manner where consumers get a much worse deal like this indefinitely. But it’s really haad to say if it’s actually going to play out that way or we experience a return to the previous equilibrium

It seems to be trying to get rid of me already by making it take 5 sign in attempts to join a teams call late
