Data privacy is all the rage and people want to have an internet where companies need permission to sell your data and where you can use the FREE service without letting them tell advertisers what you actually like.
There are only 2 possible models for the internet
-
A free internet where websites, browsers and search engines make money by selling your data to companies who want to sell their products to users.
-
A subscription based internet where you companies don’t use your data but charge a fee to use a specific website, browser or search engine.
I can guarantee that all these people complaining about “muh privacy” would not like having a paywall restricted internet.
Good on you.
I’m not pro coporate I’m pro free internet, if I can connect to it I can use it free.
Don’t you think it’s hypocritical to say that you think people should freely give their data to companies so that they can finance their websites while also saying that me avoiding tracking and ads is a good thing?
If you want to be consistent, you can’t also support bypassing the method by which you’re contending that the internet sustains itself.
No because if you are willing to go through the hassle to get around it then thats fine, until it becomes a big enough issue, I use adblocker, I am simply saying, use my Data so I don’t pay with money that I and the majority of people can’t afford
Can you articulate why it’s fine “until it becomes a big enough issue”?
When does it become a big enough issue? Why is it okay for companies and web administrators to lose out on an unquantified portion of the revenue that you say that they are owed in exchange for their services?
Do you mean free in the monetary sense or the liberty sense?
free in the monetary sense.
