Hear That, Mr. Anderson? That is the Sound of Inevitability ...

The story of my life:

1. I find an online service that works for me. It does what I need it to do. Maybe not perfectly, but at least passably and probably well, and it's either "free" or the price is right.
2. I use it. I like it. I get used to it.
3. I receive an email with EXCITING NEWS!!!
4. Shortly thereafter, things start changing. They don't work as well as they used to.
5. Shortly after that, the price goes up.
6. After a bunch of tedious fucking around, see Step 1.
