Oh, Mint Mobile, as in "for just $15 a month" Mint Mobile?

I'm irrationally angry about Mint Mobile. They lean so heavily on the message that they're cheaper than everybody else, and it is some of the most cynical, anti-consumer bullshit I've ever heard. You barely have to look into it at all before you see that offer is

• only valid for the first three months, and
• only for new users. On top of all that,
• those first three months are gonna cost you more than the advertised $15 because of hidden fees.

Outside of those first 3 months, they're charging at least as much per month as most off-contract providers.

And I understand that none of the above is unique to Mint Mobile. I guess it's Ryan Reynolds' smarmy delivery in their ads that makes it seem so arrogant, like, "Yeah, I'm already rich, and I'm getting richer by lying to you about a cellphone contract, what are you gonna do about it? I'm Deadpool, just buy it, you idiots!"

Fuck Mint Mobile. And Ryan Reynolds, too.
