It's kinda insane that we've built the incentive structures of business in a way that are designed to fuck over the user/consumer.

How nice would it be if you could just trust a company to do the right things, and is not gonna extract and sell every last drop of data from you?

I might even consider running non-opensource software.

But in this precedent, no way.

you have to assume they are trying to fuck you.

A sad symptom of fiat money, or how did we end up here?

Greed.

Unfortunately survival is a fight ! 😔

It is all in the incentives and contstraints of businesses.

"If Bitcoin stays decentralized and secure it is the first free market that has ever existed." Incentives and constraints in a Bitcoin-market is different to that of a FIAT-market.

George Gilder predicted in 'Life After Google' that companies now have a incentive to gain access to as much data as possible for their model building enterprises... even at the expense of the consumer.

Their shareholders demand that their profits outpace inflation but their customers demand that their prices don't outpace inflation.

Fiat incentives at their finest.
