Proton VPN's pricing page exposed an ab-test identifier linked to two VPN Plus prices: €2.99/month (70% off) and €3.49/month (65% off). Repeated testing produced B → A → B → A → B, with the variant matching the rendered price each time. €12 difference over 24 months.

"Capitalism operating normally" is often unacceptable as well. This is one such case. At best, they screw over a few people with no public backlash. There should be backlash.

    You're not wrong! Life is a nightmare. It's really sad that my metric nowadays for right and wrong is mostly whether or not the business is actively spying on me to find out how many pennies they can squeeze out of me.
