I'll pay extra for better features, more quality, higher performance. It's why I don't pay for cable TV but do donate to public TV and public radio.
In some cases, the word "suffer" should take the place of "pay". Decreased drivability of mid-70s cars as manufacturers struggled to meet emissions standards .for example, and drivers, owners, and end consumers suffering because of reduced reliability of late model semi trucks due to new emissions equipment not ready for production.
