👉 "Paygate" is a playful, albeit slightly unsettling, term that refers to the act of paying for something online that you didn't actually need or want. It's like when your online shopping cart starts feeling like it's plotting rebellion against you, demanding payment for items that only exist in the digital ether.
Example sentence: "After scouring the web for the perfect existential crisis self-help book, I found myself in a Paygate nightmare, paying $99.99 for a guide to existential dread that would make a vampire blush."
