Do they though? Do they really understand what it means? Do they understand that that nude they sent to their GF/BF is now on a FB server and FB has FULL rights to have and use that (obviously not publish it but still)? Do they just not care?
I really don't know, the last question kind of terrifies me TBH. My hope is they don't fully understand what they are giving up and "$20 is $20".
- glitchc 8y agoIt’s hard to gauge how much they really understand, but it’s also hard to gauge how much it really matters. I mean most of the data coming out of them is noise, really. They’re not buying houses or making major financial transactions. If this is worth doing, then $20 may even be their primary source of income, and there may not be too many legitimate ways of earning that income at that age, especially passively. Sounds like AllAdvantage.com (I had to look that up again) all over again. They tracked your internet usage and paid you money for it. My friends and I thought it was a good deal and had no compunctions about gaming it. I’m sure these kids are thinking the same thing, and our moral outrage is self-inflicted.
