>Until it doesn't...

I don't get the point of this. We all seem to agree that these companies have almost no moat, if one stops being a good deal, you can switch to another. That doesn't invalidate the existence of a deal that is currently good.

No, it doesn't.

My point was that chasing deals like this is just kicking the can down the road. You're going to have to reckon with harsh price increases sooner or later.

So I have resolved to avoid that future-dreading and fixed it, basically.
