Cant wait for my $1.50
Don’t forget to claim that on your tax return, so really it’s like $0.45. Enjoy!
Don’t knock it. I just got a $49.74 payout from some class action lawsuit I signed up for… I don’t know six years ago?
Bought some kitty litter, some detergent, and a 10-pack of fancy toilet paper. Extended my Amazon prime membership. Money well spent.
Shit, the payout might’ve been from Amazon. I don’t know I don’t care.

I’ll knock it.
It continues the process. You got a pittance, and used it to extend a subscription to a company that will continue to mistreat both its employees and you as a customer, and are considering it money well spent.
As a result, from their perspective:
- Its profitable because its only an issue if they get caught and successfully sued
- Its profitable because the payout doesnt change, the more people involved the less each person gets.
- its profitable because you’re probably still buying the same things, giving the money they “paid out” right back, and then more on top
- in the 6 years they held onto that money, they absolutely used it to further profit, making the “cost” of the suit effectively nothing for them.
Its not a good system, its one that reinforces the same practices.
Well, shit, you got me
