DID YOU KNOW THAT your web browser unquestioningly runs any and all scripts delivered to it by every single web page that you visit? DID YOU ALSO KNOW that this represents one of the biggest attack vectors for malware to compromise end user systems? *INHALES* DID YOU ALSO KNOW THAT a huge proportion of web based malware is delivered via ad networks?

WELL, NOOOOW YOU KNOOOOW

In light of that, consider installing an adblocker on you web browser.
That was not even the issue. The issue was automatically raising prices and making it difficult to access my own account, then burying the account services features making them difficult to find once in the account. They could have just kept me at the promised original price.

technically not .

prices can rise because of weather , supply , demand , strikes and world events and that has nothing to do with the dollar changing value

Literally talked about constantly... Google "Cancel Subscription" and scroll the 1000's of hits you get for that...
