Omg. This is so stupid.

The same with parties/festivals: you have to create accounts to buy a fucking ticket, then you pay a "convenience fee".

That is, in addition to providing your data to a platform that you did not ask for, you still pay for the "convenience" lol.

So finally when you arrive at the party, then you have to pay for a "credit card" that works only in that place, where some 3rd party collect your data again.
