Why would anyone use this? $1,500 rent means a $32.49 fee on top of your rent just to have them debit you twice instead of setting up autopay with your bank for free.
Split Pay charges $9.99 1.5% of your total payment amount per month. This fee is added to your first Split Pay payment each month. https://rent.app/help/renters?a=Is-there-a-fee-for-using-Split-Pay---id--FohAfEIBSB2nLJJiwifd0Q

Part of the reason I find generative "AI" peddlers so tiresome, I suspect, is that they regurgitate so much of the playbook of the worst Hegelian/Marxist cliché.
"Follow me, for I represent the FUTURE! How do I know the future, or why do I think the future is better than the present, you ask? Shut up, traitor!"
Do we really have to have this debate all over again?
Anyway, I've added a couple quotations from

Regardless of what you think of today's results, I think we can all thank the #hockey gods that neither of the close games ended in penalties. Just about any other way of deciding a winner - number of total letters in the names of everyone on the squad, a debate on Heidegger's hermeneutics, a figure-skate-off, whatever - would be better.

Despite heavily tilting the electoral playing field in its favor
—through extreme gerrymandering,
extensive use of state resources for partisan ends,
near-total media dominance,
flagrant use of deepfake videos,
and alleged vote-buying
—Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his Fidesz party suffered a crushing, historic defeat in the country’s election Sunday.
Orban conceded defeat and congratulated his opponent,
Tisza Party leader Peter Magya…

"To confront the Iranian regime was to walk, with a lit match, towards a tinderbox soaked in gasoline. If it were to be done at all, whether by military or other means, it had to be done with the greatest care. But Trump has blundered in, crushing and trampling all before him, making a bad situation worse. He does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. He does not deserve his war to be assessed charitably. He deserves our contempt."
