When a large corporation does something that harms a large number of people in a small enough way, it doesn’t make sense for one person to hire a lawyer and sue the corporation. What does make sense is to get as many people who have been wronged together to hire lawyers.
Lets say a snack company lists their bags of candy as 100g. It turns out that they’ve been putting 95g of candy in their bags on purpose for years. It doesn’t make sense to sue them over one piece of candy, but if everyone who’s ever bought that candy gets together and sues the company over all the candy they lied about, it’s worth putting in the work to go to court.
