Are you saying that some nightclubs actually turn people away for not being attractive, because I've never heard of this.

Or do you mean another kind of bar?

They might not outright turn them away, but they might make them stand in a line that never moves, while other people walk right in.

Pretty similar to how TikTok isn't stopping anybody from posting, they are just selective about what they feature.

Don't casting agents and producers essentially do the same thing for movies and TV?
