Well, yes and no. There was a time when we could shop online without all this nonsense. It's getting worse every year, instead of better.

And also, going to the store has its own rewards. You get to talk to real people, see and touch the things you want to buy, etc.

Now we're alone behind a screen, jumping through absurd and arbitrary hoops that keep getting harder and harder (tried to solve a captcha lately) and fighting "AI" systems fed with stupid data.
