The direct-to-consumer offers loans without verifying that the borrower has money coming in. Companies like claim that their faux EWA services are free, but in practice, everyone who uses the service pays for the "Lightning Speed" upsell.

Of course they do. Earnin charges sky-high interest rates and twists borrowers' arms into *leaving a "tip"* for the service (yes, they expect you to tip your loan-shark!).
