I get asking for a NMT to 99k bells, yeah. Honestly, I even understand fees up to 5NMT, especially if you're using turnip.exchange. Queues can fill to hundreds, in a matter of seconds, and letting that many people in is a hassle. I see a bunch of people on there asking for 10-20 tickets per trip though... What? Do people not know the value of NMTs or something? 10 tickets is... somewhere between 1 and 2mil bells depending on your rates, fluctuates between 100-200k rn. The absolute MOST profit you can make off turnips is a bit over 2mil, meaning those people are asking for 50%+ of your profits. Wild.
Turnip exchange originated on Reddit, and has... a lot of the hallmarks of that community, I feel like. Not to bash reddit or anything, but. Yeah. Yikes.
