These guys think the service they provide is so invaluable, so critical to the lives of their users, that they're betting on those users' willingness to shell out for the experience they're accustomed to.
It doesn't seem like a winning strategy but he's desperate to turn a profit off this thing and I don't think the long term is much of a consideration right now.
The really criminal thing about this is the for some users it is that critical.
So not only are they vastly overestimating how critical their service is to the average costumer; they are also totally fucking over a minority of users for whom it is critical.
