Many websites now require you to "create an account" just to buy something. So, you're forced to deal with the hassle of registering for an account and keeping track of usernames and passwords every fucking time you want to purchase something from a website. And, you have to "sign in" every time you return to that site.
This is part of a growing trend among companies (just like governments) that are becoming increasingly more intrusive. They want to keep track of your every movement. They're no longer content to just take your money. They now want your soul.
Even brick and mortar stores have become a hassle to shop in. You used to be able to simply buy your shit and walk out. Now, at the beginning of every transaction, they harass you by asking for your email address or phone number, or if you'd like to 'donate' money.
Things that used to be optional have a very funny way of becoming mandatory.
