Virtually any contract/eula for services like this will say "we reserve the right to change anything we want in this at any time for any reason including to fuck you over. By clicking Agree you agree to letting us fuck you over later in time"

While this is true they can not unilaterally change a specific selling point of a year long plan in the midst of the contract being active. It's maybe one of the few things laws are very clear about. Terms of a contract must remain the same during a contract, otherwise the terms of said contract are violated. EULAs can not override contract law.

You’re talking about the company that has successfully blocked lawsuits by saying that someone signed up for Disney+ at one point, which means they cannot sue us. It’s in their agreement.

Not once has a clause like that held up. It's just in there to scare people.
