it scales with size. local companies with more than just a few employees can expect to pay four digits a year. looking at their website they even have a fee to apply lol (‘may be waived in some regions’, meaning it’s charged anywhere it’s legal to charge an application fee)

other concessions such as in this post’s title, they have to agree to handle customer complaints within BBB’s terms (the specifics of which i’m not privy to).

the reason they really strike a nerve in autistic online communities though is that they’ve committed the cardinal sin of offering a rating service where the rating isn’t really about them, the consumers, but how good they are to the BBB. so does an F grade mean they have terrible customer service and a history of fraud or does it mean they wouldn’t fork out for a membership? maybe bucees is an ass backward business of hucksters but the rating doesn’t actually indicate that.

‘the bad’ is that they shake companies down and give them bad ratings not based on how they treat consumers, but how they treat the BBB. meaning if they don’t pay up and make other concessions to let the BBB twist their arm, they get bad grades.

it’s not that they’re useless, it’s that they’re self-serving and parasitic. actually providing a service is incidental at best to lining their pockets.

if power companies charge consumers $100/month extra, we have no choice except to eat it and grumble about it.

if they charge amazon, google, oracle $100/month extra, they’ll spend $100 million to dismantle the company and install toadies at the head of its replacement.

or worse, it could introduce unfit behavioral factors into the gene pool

i literally gave up on the last boss after 100%ing the rest of the game. just a brutal experience and there’s no carrot left to make me grind it out for a couple hours.

shut the fuck up. let me die in peace.

i appreciate the old ones! it’s interesting to see why someone would revive an old post, and there are some (usually active community drama) that can keep going for days and wouldn’t show up anywhere else.

it occurs to me this most closely mimics old web forum sorts.

i like the new comment sort since it’s like a hybrid of new and active. yes, 0 comment posts will show up there.
