Don’t be a tool fool

I don’t trust anything labeled free.

Free-to-play. Free trial. Free, with in-app purchases. Ninety-nine cents to skip the timer. A dollar-ninety-nine for the good sword. Four bucks a month, cancel anytime, that you will absolutely forget to cancel. None of it feels like money in the moment. That’s the whole design. A single microtransaction is engineered to sit just beneath your notice — small enough that stopping to check the total would feel petty. So you don’t check. You get microtransactioned to death by a thousand painless little cuts, and the bleeding only shows up on the statement at the end of the month, by which point you’ve mentally filed it under huh, weird.
