I think the closest analog to this is digital services getting worse rather than more expensive. For example, recently rather than increasing the price of Amazon Prime Video, the price has remained the same, but the product is worse (now has ads).

That said, I don’t think this bill would target something like that, as it clearly discusses the “size” and “amount” of a product.

I agree, but it would be a total quagmire if they allowed it to extend to digital services and other non-traditional uses of the term. Seems like it would have to relate to buying typical consumer commodity goods only or things would get weird.

When I was a kid, a season was 26 episodes, although they did have fill up and clip show episodes. Nowadays you're lucky to get 6 episodes, but sometimes these are really good episodes.

Episode runtimes are up to the full hour thanks to streaming and lack of ads (the golden age is probably passing sadly) instead of being 20 minutes with room for 10 minutes of ads to fill the 30minute broadcast slot.
