I'm a user.

I want that. I'm probably not "a majority" but I fail to see how being assimilated to the majority without my consent, without even knowing it is happening, is "protecting my interests"

What would you think of a restaurant that charges you 50% of the bill as tip because "the majority of the customers does that"?

I don't know about you but when I go to the restaurant, I can't change the price of the items. If they set the tip for you, that's pretty much setting the price, isn't it?

I forgot HN is mostly an american place.

Tip in most Europe is voluntary

We don't force people to tip
