DoorDash’s latest initiative, Eat Now, Pay Later, in partnership with Klarna, isn’t innovation — it’s a symptom.
Of what? Of a society so distracted, so conditioned for instant gratification, that offering debt with dinner now passes as progress.
We’re not solving hunger. We’re feeding attachment. Monetizing distraction. Profiting off emotional voids masked by food and convenience. And we call this tech advancement?
The sad truth: it takes power to enslave people in debt. It takes courage to use power to free them.
Imagine if this same platform used its reach to teach financial literacy. To encourage delayed gratification. To shift mindsets.
But short-term gain wins again. Meanwhile, the rich get richer, the divide grows, and the middle… blurs.
This isn’t just about DoorDash. It’s about all of us. How much are we willing to pay to avoid sitting with ourselves?
We don’t need another app to save us.
We need awareness.
We need a reset.
Before debt becomes the new default.
