    It worked differently before speech was considered money. Or I like to tell myself that.

      It worked differently before because the information network was orders of magnitude slower and data was expensive as Pope shit.

      Nowadays, the information is almost instant and everything is interconnected and data storage is cheap so we got big data with people paid solely to boil that down to algorithms that squeeze money as much as possible from customers.

      Just look at all the streaming services that makes you pay more if you don’t want ads and they resell your data. Triple dipping baby
