This is an incredibly pertinent point. Why is the collective data, profitable for such a small percentage. Why are those that are contributing the data not being rewarded for their contributions. If we live in the information econonomy then those that are contributing that information should be accounted. How is this not digital feudalism??
- scrrr 12y agoWell, there's choice. I use more obscure tools, for example Unison instead of Dropbox or Tox instead of Skype. It would probably be feudalism if there were dependency, but nobody forces you to post on Facebook. I don't use it. I have friends that I see often, I enjoy life just fine without it. heh. TBH, I'm more worried about cameras that scan faces and license plates.
- humbledrone 12y ago> Why are those that are contributing the data not being rewarded for their contributions. Do you claim that the services that you "contribute" data to (Facebook, Google, etc.) do not provide any value to you? If that's the case, why do you keep contributing your data? If they do provide value to you, how is that not a "reward?"
