According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, prices for computer software and accessories were 64.37% lower in 2019 versus 2000.
In the USA, from December 1997 to August 2015, the Consumer Price Index for personal computers and peripheral equipment declined 96 percent. For computer software specifically the decline was 63%.
I’ve provided information about pricing, and others have pointed out how they believes prices have dropped as well. If you have any tangible data to support your belief I’d be happy to see it, but suddenly introducing “intrusive ads” as a “cost” doesn’t help buttress any argument, IMO.
