"The age of privacy is over" - Mark Zuckerberg.
"The Age of Surveillance Capialism" - Shoshana Zuboff is a good book on the subject.
At some point, I learned to stop hating the system and love Big Brother. Doing otherwise is pretty much emulating King Canute and the tide at this point.

The real nightmare when it comes to pass benefits isn't a slap on the wrist fine for using too many S2s in a year anyway.
It's giving a "buddy pass" to some stressed out traveller who flips out on the wrong gate agent. I've been told horror stories of where that can lead.

That’s nothing if it gets you Delta one going overseas vs sitting in coach.

They should have lost their benefits for a year (the kiosk warns them of this.)

Gee you'd think with our "stellar" IT department, that if you used all your S2s for the year, the system wouldn't allow you to list for S2. Why you could even get a popup window stating "no more S2s remaining for this employment year." Radical concept I know...

it’s most likely gate agents buddies hooking them up. You’ll see people below you get business class or first class and it’s because the gate agent was hooking up their friend. Have to call them out on it

While I have seen this, I have also seen plenty of senior people trying to call out gate agents for “out of seniority seat assignment” when senior person got the best seat available up front and Junior got the last seat that someone didn’t show up for at the very end of boarding that was better than the senior person.
