The comments here are eerily similar to the “before picture” in this xkcd: https://www.xkcd.com/743/ https://www.xkcd.com/743/ Are we ready to look back on this thread with a bittersweet mixture of regret and yearning for our naïveté ? I feel like we’ve been down this road before , and we don’t seem to have learned much about weighing contemporary practicality against long term security of freedom. And our duty in leading the development through our choices , rather than sitting back as ineffectual actors, choosing what works best for us, without regard for the effect of our choices on the proliferation of anti-freedom techniques. Yes, Netflix works well now. That’s not his point. There is no fully superior alternative. That’s not his point. Our choices and boycotts can effect an alternative reality. I can’t speak for him, but, even if unwittingly, that’s what he’s achieving. It’s a sacrifice we all make for the greater good to get out of a local maximum. It’s about sending a signal.
