An agreed statement of facts shows Cineplex made more than $11.6 million in the six months after the fees were implemented in mid-2022 and another $27.3 million on fees in 2023.

Why don't you use cookie auto delete? Are you explicitly blocking cross site cookies; if so, can you give more details what the cross site cookies were doing?

I can’t give you more information because I literally don’t know more than that.

I’m a bitch basic internet user, and I’ve never had a site do this before, and I don’t have 3 hours to teach myself everything on the subject just for one shitty site, or to research and install whatever the current best suite of un-enshittified extensions is. I have Ublock origin running in Firefox already, so for all I know the cookies are already auto-deleting, but I really couldn’t tell you.

If it was my card instead of someone else’s, I would have cancelled the whole thing and just picked up the tickets in person on the way home or something. Or just not given them my business (so just not seen the movie, because they have a near monopoly out here).

I’m a mechanic, not a programmer, and at this point probably not a moviegoer again, either, because the fuss of dealing with their crap now isn’t worth seeing movies, just like we’ve basically stopped streaming anything in my household and cancelled most of the subs. Now my money can go to renovations and hobbies instead!

In fact, the internet in general is getting to be such a pain in the ass, my usage is probably going to drop off to avoid all these headaches.
