I feel seen…

Fintechs are trying to get their grubby little claws into everyone who’s desperate or stupid enough, so wouldn’t surprise me at all if BNPL* companies are doing deals with takeaway places.

I genuinely pity anyone using this because they need to. 😬

*Not sure about elsewhere, but in the UK this legal predatory practice is called Buy Now Pay Later. Online loan sharking without the broken kneecaps.

I played around with this some time ago, until I thought more about it: using tools like this makes adtech money.

Adtech doesn’t care if you’re interested in X or Y, just that they can charge the advertiser for it. By injecting fake traffic, they’re getting more data to sell.
