Class action lawsuit, each member of the class gets pennies, the lawyers get half the total sum.

One of these days you are going to need pain killers and will find out they won’t give them to you any more even if you legitimately need them. It’s already happening.

Years ago I was notified by a law firm that, as a Blockbuster card holder, I was party to a class-action suit against the video rental giant. Somebody brought suit because of exorbitant late fees.

Really a BS action because the company never expected the employees to respond on their own time in the first place (or to even respond at all as most of the emails were just announcements).
Anyway, for months, as this dragged on, more and more employees signed on to this so that they could share in the "windfall".
Sure enough, the company settled and by the time the lawyers took their cuts, all the employees got a check for something like $155. When they were expecting thousands!
