I mean yeah! lol That's what subscription services are designed to do. They provide an appealing, low(er)-cost entrypoint to something you were already easily doing before, they become a habitual service customers can't or won't easily replace, and then they can literally do whatever they want with the price. It's especially powerful in countries where a lot of public and private servers are subscription-based. People just add all of it to the ledger and pay it all together. No shortage of people who don't even use nor sometimes even remember all the services they're paying for.
I mean look at how many people are saying, "I'm OK with the price hike, because I'm giving the service a lot of use", especially on Twitter, when in reality nothing about their interaction with the service will change besides the fact that they'll pay more. People will actively convince themselves of whatever they have to, to continue doing what they've already been doing. Netflix may be losing users now but they've already made unspeakable amounts of money. It's how these systems work.
