- LtWorf 3mo agoNot like klarna are nice
- Freak_NL 3mo agoQuite. At least Google delivers some value to society, despite being mostly evil. Klarna is exclusively parasitic, getting people needlessly into debt and pushing a buy now pay later mentality for luxury products.
- lokar 3mo agoAnd burritos
- LtWorf 3mo agoA local pizza place here in sweden puts leaflet in my mailbox and yes you can order pizza and pay with klarna
- tuwtuwtuwtuw 3mo agoI wouldn't say Klarna is exclusively parasitic. Where I am located, Klarna is often the absolutely best choice for payments, and I always pay up front.
- jillesvangurp 3mo agoSame, I use them because my regular bank are a bunch of muppets when it comes to mobile payments. I use Klarna to pay with my phone. It auto debits from the bank account. I've never paid them any interest. Works fine, other companies are available offering similar services. Key for me: works online/offline, sane process for blocking things, works internationally without getting ripped off on exchange rates, etc. I guess they make some money on deferred payments to vendors. Good for them. You can choose to go into debt with them and they make that really easy. But it's a choice in the end. If you can't be trusted running your own finances, don't get a credit card from any bank.
- basisword 3mo agoThere are helpful use cases that aren't parasitic. I use it if I want to buy a bunch of clothes in multiple sizes. I return what I don't need and don't need to splurge up front. The people who get into debt for unnecessary stuff they can't afford will find other ways anyway.
