Now, the company says it imagines an “Uber-type of setup” to fill their ranks, with gig workers logging in remotely to argue with customers from the comfort of their own homes.
So they’re using their spectacular failure as a chance to exploit their new ‘employees’ via the gig economy.

Because they’re people that produce nothing but still think they should be rich.
Klarna? The usury company? The “preys on kids who failed the Algebra 2 test on interest” company?
a classic parasite behavior
Klarna sucks balls. “We’re your friend! We help you buy things!*”

And how many of these Uberserfs will be located in developed countries making good salaries? None, you say?
Probably depends on the language in the target market, a lot of European languages are not that common in countries with cheap labor.
Loans for consumer products should be outlawed. Nothing good ever comes out of them.
I hope whoever’s running that company gets cancer and dies.
