Though, Klarna really isn't a good company. I read a lot about collection letters, low-quality service, non-existent customer support, so you can't even settle things, not doing a lot against identity theft, layoffs... They're a Swedish company, so European. But that's pretty much all the positive things about them.
Correct... It is a disgusting money changer that trying to middle man shit that doesn't need a middle man.
But people use it.
Hard agree. Legalised loan sharking.
They seem to appear a lot in these "buy European" communities. Still trying to work out if it's me (bias, etc), if people are just desperate to share any "made in EU" content, or if they're doing guerilla marketing. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
They are doing marketing. I feel many companies are reading lemmy and try to gauge sympathy and market reputation.
Klarna pr marketing if you are reading, i hope you get explosive spray diarrhea.
Corpo parasites trying to grift on organic sentiment...
Welcome to the modern world ๐คก
Thatโs why shitting on them is never enough. Corporations are not people, bullying is fair game.
Corpo inherently is a threat actor no matter the context.
Employment or customer relationship... Doesnt matter. It is an enemy
But some how propaganda got these peasants simping against their self interest.
"Bro one more loan please. This is european debt, this is the good shit. I swear that mcdookie is worth it. Pls bro sign up, I need a promotion... "
I think it's called blind actionism. But I feel (your) strong words won't help here. People need to be educated. And it's not like they have a good option to pick. The options with payment providers are mainly: bad and worse. But you should be aware once you sign a contract with the devil...
Cash, debit, credit, and then loan shark.
Klarna is a loan shark.
