What if you just want to read something without a credit card? In the far-off past, it was once normal to buy a book without your purchase registering in dozens of databases, being cross-referenced with your electricity bills and the people you went to high school with, then analyzed for your marketing or terrorist potential. You would go to a bookstore, hand them something called cash, they would give you a book, and your relationship would end. Now you can only do this through piracy. I'm honestly not worried about getting zoomer takes on Red Harvest. I'd like to be able to legally send it to somebody I recommend it to without involving hundreds, if not thousands, of other people.
