      Because people are idiots.

      They don’t understand how much even profit can be manipulated. All you need is one guy on payroll making more money than he should, and that’s going to reduce your ‘profit.’ That doesn’t mean he isn’t profiting, though.

    I mean they trying to give poorer places access to digital payments and all the good shit (and prolly some bad) that comes with what we all got access to already - not like we’re not tracked, monitored, scored, manipulated by ads and ingenuitive UX and greed of companies. we just trust companies and their brands over a scapegoat blamable solo dude for some reason
