i got caught up in this B.S… literally got the rate locked T-Mobile account because of lifetime rate lock. then last year they sent me “opt-out” notification that my guaranteed rate was increasing unless I send a certified letter or some stupid shit. I dumped them the next week because i don’t have time in my life to play fuck-fuck games with shady companies. I hope there’s a class action lawsuit, I would gladly get on board.

The fundamental problem here is that courts bend over backwards to allow fine print that contradicts the plain reading of how advertisements and services and presented. Unfortunately, the only way it's ever going to change in the US is if somehow a Supreme Court is appointed that's far less business-friendly than it has been in possibly ever.
I'd be more fine with companies behaving like a swarm of locusts if they at least had to put on the box the ways they were going to fuck you over. A monkey's paw printer should have to prominently display "Proprietary ink only! Scanner disables itself when ink is low. While supplies last" on the front.
All lawyers are black hats.
