They've done that on every flight I've been on in the past like 5 years. They start by asking for volunteers, then start yoinking people's bags as they board.

I mean gate check where they give it back to you at the gate on the other end not regular bag-check at the gate.

They do that only on the tiny planes that don't have bins large enough for carry-on bags.

I recall it being relatively common up until about 5 or 6 years ago on most flights where the overhead bins would likely fill up.
