I am an Apple customer. I don’t feel attacked. In this case, specifically, I feel protected.
Using an analogy from a person I follow on Mastodon: “For $1.99 per month, I will give you a QR code that tells 24 Hour Fitness that you are their customer when you really aren't. You can work out for free whenever you want.”
And:
“The Department of Justice is investigating 24 Hour Fitness for banning the people I charge $1.99 per month for access to all 24 Hour Fitness locations without actually being a member. What a world!”
