The REAL reasons why certain companies fine writers

There's one legitimate use of fines by essay companies: as an incentive not to miss deadlines. If there are no consequences for missing deadlines, many writers will take advantage of that and end up costing their companies money, whether by losing clients or by precipitating legitimate demands for refunds. However, I'd agree that many companies misuse the mechanism of "fines" as an excuse to keep more money for themselves, without justification, which is obviously a ridiculous and shady unfair business practice that amounts to nothing more than theft from their writers.
