@thisismissem That's a weird way to display that but if you read it top to bottom, moving from monthly to annual drops the price from $60 to $50. That's our standard price. Then 20% off is $40. As displayed in the bill today.

Can I ask where you are seeing this AI content so that I can look into it? We do do a lot of heavy lifting not to recommend it to you unless you are directly following the pub or person. I think recommendations is an area where we can mostly succeed. But there is still a ton that exists and people run into it in different ways, i.e. Google.
