Well, the real problem is advertising. It is far too profitable. If we want to live in a less distorted world, start taxing digital advertising heavily. Give people the real choice to pay for services (like we do in every other area in life) instead of paying with their privacy.

- judge2020 5y agoWho's to say they're paying with privacy? Xbox and Playstation get 15-30% of every game sale for their consoles, since the consoles are sold near-cost or even at a loss. At least historically they were just paying on the backend, not with their privacy. Is the line tracking, advertising, or just not being able to pay everything up-front (and not based on usage)?
