> things that were simple, became full of friction, all to collect our data. I always wonder who comes up with these full of friction "tech innovations". Last time it took me about five minutes to order a soda from one of those machines in a hotel. It even required a phone number to complete the order. Another day that machine failed mid transaction but charged my card so I had to email the hotel's accounting department to get a refund about a week later.

>> It even required a phone number to complete the order. 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.
