I don't see how this is any different from, for instance, AT&T changing their rate plans on a regular basis and charging more for tethered data (which used to be included), or Cox instituting a data cap and charging $50 to remove it (which used to not exist).

Lots of businesses run on a subscription model, and lots of those change their subscription plans with no grandfathering.

Yeah, and it's a crap customer experience imo. You're lured in with an attractive starting offer only for the company to change the deal after you've signed up. Maybe im just being overly optimistic in thinking it'd be nice if companies would just sell me their product/service at some sustainable, relatively stable rate?

It happens a lot with car insurance companies in the UK. They start you off with a low quote for your first year then when the renewal comes around suddenly the price doubles. Then you phone them up, tell them about how you found another quote for half the price and magically they can halve the renewal quote they gave you just last week.

The difference is movie pass is changing the rules every month or more.
