   Microsoft are effectively giving up on Copilot Pro subscription ($20/month) as almost nobody paid for it.

   Instead they are bundling it into Microsoft 365 consumer subscriptions and inflating the renewal prices there. There’s no opt out.

   Effectively allows the Copilot revenue and user numbers to be inflated.

     With Copilot being force bundled with things, Microsoft can help drive inflation and climate change worldwide by pretending to be driving growth.

     It is growth of course - just of Microsoft’s profits at the expense of everybody else.
