I switched banks because of this, from a local credit union to an online only bank. I hate that I had to, but the random online bank treats me better and charges me less

That shit is infuriating, especially the stupid large fees of $25-35. Just like you said, have no money and they charge you a relatively huge amount in return.
From 2015-20 banks collected over six billion dollars in overdraft fees simply because they wanted to charge people who ran out of money more money.
That’s fucking disgusting.
