I agree with this. When you give a company gross profit (price higher than what it took them to get you the product) you are literally paying for them to spend some of that on getting their next customer.
Anyone who is paying a ransom is literally paying a ransomer to do that to someone else. Not in a metaphorical sense. You are literally transferring the ransomer money which the ransomer will literally use to finance the next ransom. They will pay out of pocket for the person doing the next ransom to go and do it. It should be totally illegal to finance this.
- fennecfoxen 6y agoThis is not how it works. If you pay a company money and they earn a profit, they will have more money. But the next customer doesn’t come specifically out of your revenue. They generally won’t have waited for you at all, and they would still pay for ads and similar acquisition costs without your money, whether from their reserves or any lines of credit. You charge your own acquisition cost against the profit from your custom, not the next guys’ cost. In the case of crime you have paid them to hack you, not others.
