Do you think they have to raise their subscription prices because many people are stealing the content?

If they thought that they wouldn't be begging me to pay $4 instead of $30 whenever I try to cancel.

I wonder if they've ever attempted to calculate the cost of being incredibly unpleasant as a service.

I don't have the context to comment on the interpersonal skills of the media outlet. If the price is $30 after the introductory price, then the price is $30. You disagreeing with the price or their sales tactic doesn't entitle you to steal their content.
I don't need to be entitled, I can just do it. Call the police, no one cares.
Then just say you're a thief, no need to pretend there is any other issue than you are OK with stealing when you deem a companies practices to be disagreeable to your own.
