Out of everything the most depressing is Klarna. It's a buy now pay later microloans that should just be forbidden.

I don't know if it was the case in other countries but in Belgium a very popular app used to store loyalty cards was bought by Klarna. It was not really clear that you could continue to use the old app for a while and not switch to Klarna. So I know a lot of people that just installed the app just to be able to have access to their cards.

We get a lot of advertising for it here in Belgium and tons of webshops support it, sadly. What a trash company.

Not just support it but sometimes it's the only option, so you also have to support their business even if you just paying upfront. (and hand over your personal data)
