At some point customer service died. Businesses of seem to no longer be interested in dealing with customers. Good customers come in all shapes and sizes, and often don't exactly fit a cookie cutter. It's frustrating to see businesses just cut and run the moment something becomes a problem that needs more than a series of pre-scripted responses to be resolved.

That's what you get for the low cost of entry. When most customers are self-signup (and probably low margin) there's no individual responsible for them.

Good in that you never have to speak to a salesperson, bad in that there will be no-one to take care of you if things go sideways.

Yes. I think that is a reasonable point. When cost of retention exceeds the cost of acquisition.
