That's for sure. I've been "in" two class actions, one against Hugesnet for the rip off they were (are?), and Netflix for I never understood what. To be "in" involved mailing back a postcard to be included.
Hugesnet gave me a voucher which I could use toward... their own shitty service I cancelled years earlier because it sucked. Why would I go back to it to cash in the voucher? What a shitty settlement.
Netflix I actually got a check for a buck and some change. Less than $2.
The lawyers I'm sure made millions off the settlement. Who got justice? The victims?
If you opt into a class-action, its not because you hope to get whats due to you, because nothing the victims get comes even close to whats due. You would opt in because you hate the company enough to want to see them take the hit.
