It's totally different. A one-time fee when you think you're getting something of tangible value that's somewhat reasonable in your expectation (given that they have sold you an actual car with most of the promised features that has resale value and can actually do real-life things for you like transport you from A to B) versus receiving a bizarre set of nonsense for an enormous and ongoing financial cost with nothing in return.

Like, there are people in Calgary literally allowing an organization to steal 10% of their own money in exchange for total bs. It's so fricken dumb lol. I can't imagine handing over 10% of everything I make to other grownups because I think they can do better with it than I can. What's broken in a person's brain where they can't see the stupidity of that?
