DVDs. I scoffed at the thought that people would pay $20 to $30 for a fragile disc when VHS tapes were just fine at around $9.99.

Boy, I whiffed on that. And now DVDs themselves are dead.

Extended warranties. Still a scam but normalized to the point of ridiculousness.

hot take - although they're far from perfect, credit scores are not a scam whatsoever

Yes, it is. Credit Score is literally created to keep people in debt. Countries like Japan, Spain, France, Netherlands, etc. actually utilize real data (income, employment history, etc.).
