At least Apple is not primarily an ad company

I was on a money save spree so I disabled some cards not knowing it was tied to the gym.

Don’t want to say the exact gym because it’s a local chain but they used a software suite called “ABC Fitness”

Quote from their website

Imagine running a fitness club where cash flow grows, collection rates are high, and administrative tasks are minimal. This doesn’t have to be a dream—it’s achievable with intelligent billing

“Intelligent”

Tried doing that with my gym and they kept charging me, then threatened to take it to collections if I didn’t pay up. They also called me twice a day asking for money, and if I answered and then hang up right after it will call you back immediately. They also used a different number each time so you can’t really block it.
