That's also why American Express and the U.S. National Park Service paid for SciShow to do this episode, isn't it?
My phone being hacked, the conglomerate saw that I watched this show, and it paid the show to promote something that is degrading to me.
I couldn't have gotten the apartment that I have without having finally gotten a credit card for the first time in my life and using it to build my credit. I have never had a car or a house and so I had no credit history; my credit wasn't terrible, but it didn't meet the criteria for a lot of landlords.
I got an American Express card. I've never paid late for even one bill. I never even have a balance from month to month; I pay it all off before I get a bill.
Yet, this is how I am treated. People at American Express probably track everything that I buy and talk about it to each other and everyone else whom they feel like telling, also.
What's the victim-blaming story for this going to be?
