@ifixit.com So I've said yes. A few times. How many more times do I need to say yes to the newsletter?

10 distinct emails from ifixit asking me to confirm my subscription. One on the 8th, four on the 9th, one on the 10th, three on the 13th and one so far today (14th)

So Beryl is raising their prices but they've lied and said it's "improved rates" and "improved value" and "more savings". I'm actually tempted to refer this to the ASA as these are all lies, they're charging an extra £2 for the 100 and 200 min bundles..

A screenshot of an email that starts with:

"This winter, we’re bringing you unbeatable value on your rides in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole! With reduced unlock fees and improved rates, riding with Beryl is now even more affordable!

For a limited time, enjoy our Winter Promotion with updated bundle prices"

The table then lists a new 50 min package for £5, and then existing bundles of 100, 200 and 400 minutes. The 100 and 200 are "improved value" and "more savings" as the 'what's new', but their prices are £8 and £14 - both of which are £2 more than previous. The 400 min bundle is unchanged in cost.

A screenshot of a purchase of 100 mins from 2024 showing the previous price at £6

A screenshot of a purchase of 200 mins from 2025 showing the previous price at £12

I think this roughly explains what's gone on in South Korea in the past 12 hours, right?
