You're both right. It was $15/mo, then the price went up to $18 but they didn't raise the price for existing subscribers, but this time they're raising the price for existing customers as well, so for the oldest customers, it's a 50%, $15->$23 hike, and for newer customers, it's a 27%, $18->$23 hike.
$18 to $23 is not insulting. It's still less than the price of two individual subscriptions.
