    I’ll knock it.

    It continues the process. You got a pittance, and used it to extend a subscription to a company that will continue to mistreat both its employees and you as a customer, and are considering it money well spent.

    As a result, from their perspective:

    • Its profitable because its only an issue if they get caught and successfully sued
    • Its profitable because the payout doesnt change, the more people involved the less each person gets.
    • its profitable because you’re probably still buying the same things, giving the money they “paid out” right back, and then more on top
    • in the 6 years they held onto that money, they absolutely used it to further profit, making the “cost” of the suit effectively nothing for them.

    Its not a good system, its one that reinforces the same practices.
