It seems like you're arguing that we are about to slide down a slippery slope of... companies and consumers both doing things they have a right to do?

- gnicholas 9y agoYep, google appears to be on the brink. And yep, consumers have the right to jump ship when google goes too far (in their opinion). Basically, we should make sure not to be a frog that gets boiled (to throw in another metaphor).
- xevb3k 9y agoThe frog metaphor is false (in the sense that frogs do actually jump out, regardless of how slow the water is boiled) [1]. But I think it’s also false in many of the contexts where it’s applied. People do notice change, even if it happens slowly. They’re just not always able to do anything about it.
