I personally would say no, but it ultimately depends on how much benefit you get from that website. If in the past you have used it and met awesome people, then its up to you to decide if it worth it.

However if you have not used the website before, it probably isn't worth it? I mean there's no guarantee the website will connect you to decent people at all right?

Just my opinion though.

I'm still debating it. Since I posted that, I realized that pretty much all U.S. cellular providers now have a #BindingArbitration clause, so it's kind of unavoidable at times. 🤦‍♂️

But I still want to avoid it where I can.

Yeah I dont think it is that practical to avoid it everywhere, but its good avoid where possible. I recently got a new credit card (cause credit score) and my bank kept putting pop ups for enabling fetching my credit score along with fraud monitoring and whatnot. When I saw the binding arbitration clause, I decided against it. Even though I may have already unknowingly signed one.

My hope is that if enough people do this, companies will realized that binding arbitration will actually make them lose customers and think twice before actually putting one (though I dont think it will happen anytime soon).

Yeah, I do the same thing with my pharmacy and the links they send me via SMS.

I just call the local pharmacy, instead.

But I don't think most people are aware of this trend.
