Sounds like there soon won't be much for you to use!. Some of these fees are simply a different way of not changing the fares. Like it or not, there's often 'extras' to look out for.

Also, when travelling with NE I never use the seat reservation system. Or use the insurance option

I even paid a booking fee for each seat that I booked in the Showcase Cinema that I booked online recently, they're the norm.

You could have booked at the cinema, that would have saved you a few quid

Greed? Greedy Parasites?? That's a very brave, if not defamatory statement to make.

Question: have you booked concert tickets, sold anything on eBay, flown abroad, booked a holiday or bought anything online?

If the answer to any of the above is "YES", then you'll have paid a booking fee, paid postage, or a multitude of other fees/taxes that form part of the final selling price. It's called business!

If you don't like their business principles or methods, don't buy from, or travel with them!

Not flown abroad for ages. Flew to Dublin in 2019. No booking fees were charged
Never used eBay
Don't use Flixbus due to the fees. At least with NE you don't pay fees if you have an NE account
Have asked NE why they've suddenly started charging fees on Coachcards. No answer yet. What a surprise(not)
Never use Trainline either.  B'ham Rep are another organisation who I refuse to support
