Did anybody at all read the article?

666 people are enrolled in a trial system so that their pizza debts are collected from their estate when they die.

No interest rate or fees.

So.......

Basically free pizza for life. It's not predatory, And it's insane to me that people post articles, even in a comment, without reading them. Because if you had read the article "predatory" would be the furthest thing for your mind. It's just a gimmick promotion to increase sales

I definitely wish I was one of those 666 people

I should clarify, I'm trusting people to do their own googling but referring to the likes of zip.co when I say predatory:

The article I linked was just a funny example of pizza financing I found along the way

Fair enough.

And I apologize for the harsh tone.

I read the article you linked, and I was like "what's this guy talking about".

Have a nice day.
