  I think colloquially people have begun expanding use of the word to include anything where features are removed but the price stays the same.

  Maybe there’s a better word for that, but I understand the parallel.

    Isn’t this loyalty program free like many others?

      You don’t pay cash for it, but it takes up your time and IKEA gets your data and is allowed to send you spam. So kinda free, but also not.

      This is the loss right here… those tables were perfect and apparently they no longer are. Sad day

    So the tables are really lacking?

    You’re joking, but they did change the design of the Lack tables about a decade ago to make more of the legs hollow. They were popular as diy home server racks, but the hollow legs make it more difficult to mount more than one or two units of space.

  This program was to encourage you to be loyal by offering you discounts. Now that you’re loyal, fuck you.

  I think this is just normal inflation, since it’s cost. I guess you could also argue it’s skimpflation.
