Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
