That is cool, but $7.70 is not even worth it for me to take the time to register, let alone file a claim. Is there an argument that me taking the time to get a pittance in restitution hurts the company? Do they just keep them money if I can't be bothered?

I got $300 from a different google class action a few years ago, $400 from a Facebook one recently but I’m glad people keep parroting that you only get a few dollars as it keeps the signups lower and payout per person higher.
