Seems like a friendly enough response was given to your comment and you automatically assumed they were only interested in saying you’re wrong.

Having a discussion is not “proving everyone wrong”

Especially when they were wrong. They’re obviously going to pass along any actual cost they have one way or another.

That’s not what’s shady or what’s being addressed. It’s the $60 ***(plus $100 in unlisted fees we literally won’t even let our support provide or estimate on signup) to lie about prices that’s the problem.

I recommend reading either the quoted text, or the article. Preferably both.

I did. “Passing on costs” is entirely irrelevant to everything.

The entire point of all of this is that service providers are using nebulous fee structures to lie about pricing. That’s the entire thing. There is nothing else.
