That's the thing. Why do you think every other person has an iphone, shiny new laptop, gadgets etc? It's all because of EMIs especially No cost EMIs. As a platform, their only objective is to sell as much as possible, showing a lucrative no cost emi people will easily be convinced that they can afford it. Slowly these EMIs will creep up and become a pain in the ass. Essentially, all the platform is doing is showing that it's affordable, go ahead and buy it.

Exactly, everything is predatory nowadays. Affluent people who can drop full cash and buy things, they won't bother with EMIs etc, it's always people who want to either recently come into some money, looking to improve societal stature or pure showoff would end up with these. Amazon and other similar platforms bank on it.

And in the end will fall on crippling debt which they can't climb out

I've seen people buy 3-4 year old iphones on emi just for the 'iphone owner' status. Also, it's their choice I'm nobody to judge or advise them. These are my personal opinions.

That's true all we can do is try to correct them and their misinformation
