Step out of whatever echo chamber you're spending so much time in.

"I know of nothing that's been taken away from me that I needed." You admit I'm right, that they've taken stuff away, but because you personally didn't need those things, you write it off as no big deal.
For people who used them, it was a big deal. Removing benefits
makes any program worse. Period. They haven't taken anything away that I used yet, but the fact they keep removing stuff, while raising prices, objectively means I'm getting less than I got in the past from the program. This has led to me considering it a much poorer value than it used to be. After all, if I wanted to use those removed benefits, well, I can't, can I?
You're taking your own personal experience and suggesting it's the norm, while there's at least four people in this very thread telling you they feel differently. My brain may be in a fog due to depression, but even I can tell that's 80% saying it's worse in this thread with only 20% saying it's fine. I'd suggest you take your own haughty advice and step out of that
"echo chamber you're spending so much time in."
I'm not going to engage you further, your reply to me especially came across as you being a
huge asshole.

If you see it on sale, I recommend the
Anker Soundcore 2 Bluetooth speaker. It's stereo and sounds great.
I couldn't hear the dialog in stuff I watched on my tablet with the window AC on, but this speaker gets plenty loud enough. It charges with a USB cable, but you can just leave it plugged in all the time to avoid the battery running out. I do that with the free Bluetooth speaker Comcast gave away a few years ago that I keep in the kitchen.
