> Hopefully, we'll gravitate toward companies that create privacy-centric services for their users. Not likely. The privacy-compromising services will be cheaper and will outsell anything else, so there's a lot more money in violating privacy than respecting it. As a result those services will have larger R&D budgets and objectively better product offerings. People won't pay for privacy, so they don't actually care about it. We get what we pay for, and don't get what we don't pay for. Until and unless customer behavior changes privacy will keep getting thrown under the bus. Same goes for security, as evidenced by the extreme success of Zoom in spite of it being a security dumpster fire. Customers care about UX, UX, UX, UX, and UX.
