Data rules the world? I mean if one can use data to manipulate votes (which we already have seen), Exxon etc likely use it to manipulate people into buying their stuff somehow?
Was that what you meant?
(I mean I agree with you that it's surprising but somehow I can imagine shady companies doing shady market manipulation)
Because no one wants to pay for any digital products any more. Take email: how many people do you know that pay for it? I'm the odd one in my circle of friends...
WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok,.... Pay with your data, yay!
And you're right that a lot are letterbox companies (in my opinion) who do shady stuff. I once got spam via letter and GDPR'ed my way through it. I hit a dead end at: daughter marketing company sold my data but got closed already by mother company, so no one could tell me where my data came from or where they sold it to. I reported them to the authorities and no one cared. We have GDPR but it's not enforced or controlled. It's a joke.
AI bots yaaaaaay
Honestly, Jerry is doing an amazing job.
I mean if you don't like to be pre-judged, you can always self-host?
