My dad was trying to get a grooming appointment for his cat something that should take all of 5 minutes over the phone, checking a calendar and penciling it it, but no gotta do it through a web portal then an app, and make sure you put in your credit card number!
ofc my dad got more and more angry as even I was messing around with this crap going over fields over and over because I put in the wrong number, ugh. Bring back simple shit please.
Nah if they're smart about this then it would be performed slowly over a long period of time and people will accept it as the natural outcome of things... "Progress"
Everyone that remembers the internet when it was better will talk about the good old days, much like already occurs with current internet vs pre social media.
People won't be able to articulate it easily and with no smoking gun outlining that it was a deliberately planned out practice there will be no method of agitating through it.
