yeah that Klarna buy now pay later company will offer it on literally anything, it's zero percent so you know for sure that it's based around you not paying to schedule and getting reamed by the interest

that and fees presumably.

hmm aren’t they literally credit card companies then?

no there's no fee if you make the repayments to schedule (as opposed to paying a premium for splitting the payment/accruing interest), I actually looked it up and aside from any late penalties (which they claim are only 1% of cases but that's obviously gonna be hugely skewed) they charge retailers a free for the service


hmm I wonder how "encouraging people to buy things they cannot immediately afford" and "late fees" could possibly go together

sorry i meant fees charged to the seller. like credit card companies charge a few percent of the transaction to the seller.

then otherwise there’s no fees for many credit cards. if you pay on time you don’t pay extra. you get hit if you don’t.

so idk it just kinda sounds like a credit card, but called klarna.

like if you purchased a dozen different things with 6 payments each, it’s effectively like you’re just paying a balance each month of what you spend? you’re just rearranging it a lil bit but all the traps are there for you to walk into just like a credit card.

and it's called human kibble because i, the consumer, am human, right?

uhh yeah for sure

we don’t actually use “human kibble” in marketing copy, we just heavily imply it. that would be too on the nose

internally we absolutely call it kibble though
