Oh yeah, this is a very annoying pricing model. Proportionally very expensive for each individual part/product, but then a proportionally lower price for the whole thing. But in absolute amounts, more money was payed.

The closest example I can think of is fast food cup sizes.

What they want is for you to think “Hmm I need a VPN and an email, but it’s cheaper to just buy the whole unlimited package”

TL;Dr but the gif looks really cool

But I don’t understand, were you already a premium member when you were prompted to pay more?
