  I don’t think “fully purchased” applies to anything on amazon prime or Netflix where anything can be permanently removed.

  You mean like how you fully purchased a premium account?

  I wonder why there are no laws against eforced, unilateral contract adjustments like this. Especially considering “no ads” was an explicit part of the original purchase

    i’d guess it’s because you can quit anytime. whenever they change the contract, you could walk away, it’s not like you’re forced to pay until the end of the year or something like my gym membership.

    not defending the practice, but i think that’s the legal reasoning
