I find that odd. I think that most people can't afford the prices asked to keep their data.

- BoorishBears 6y agoI mean, I feel like ad services are not making such unaffordable amounts of revenue per user. Facebook reports $112 of revenue per user in the US, and that number plummets to just $25 globally. Facebook is the privacy boogeyman these days, jokes about Zuckerberg are in no short supply. Yet if you told people you can pay $9 a month and Facebook never needs your data ever again except host it for you, they'd say no. In fact they might be insulted you had the audacity to ask for such a thing. You could ask for $1 and they'd still say no. It's just the same way they don't value their digital presence, they don't value digital goods and services. They'll pay $6 every morning for the same cup of coffee worth 30 cents of ingredients and 5 minutes of work, but balk at the idea of an app asking for 99 cents for a lifetime of development work. I'm not saying that from a place of bitterness to be clear, it's just what I've found to be the inconvenient reality of things.
