Why did you sign up to an unsustainable service in the first place? It's not a big deal if they change the price. Pay up or leave, I don't see any problem here at all. In the UK phone companies are allowed to raise prices during the duration of a fixed price fixed duration contract.

As an end-user, am I responsible when you create a business with an unsustainable business plan? I think even the most educated consumer would look at that and think "great deal to be gotten while I can".

Moviepass probably shouldn't have any right to complain if they lose users, but users should definitely complain because they are being screwed, at least until the new plan becomes the new normal.

How are you being screwed?

Moviepass has changed the terms of the original agreement when signing up with the service. Just because they can do so and legally doesn't make it any less of a screwing. Just a legal one.

I'm pretty sure you can legally ask them to pull out at any time, especially if contract terms have changed. They must have a cancellation procedure (that I'm sure is quick and easy /s).

You can cancel. They're letting you know.
