my loyalty entitles me to be vocally displeased when the brand I am loyal to
makes changes that negatively affect my enjoyment of their product. Moreso when
the changes seem arbitrary at best, and moreso still when the changes indicate
that the product I love is becoming more and more like their cheaper
competitors.
