This is a nonsensical article. Ideology doesn't enter into it; say rather, a firm that sells directly to the user is open to market pressure from those users in a way that a firm that sells their users to a third party simply isn't.
- grippi 14y agoAgreed. Instilling a price tag for users legitimizes its utility (to a certain degree). However, what bothers me most about this article is that it's so black-and-white, alluding to the existence of only two pricing models out there: Ads or money up-front. No where does this article mention the possibility for a VRM-based (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/projectvrm/Main_Page http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/projectvrm/Main_Page) revenue model, attribution-licensing model, etc. [sad panda]
