@monkbent I’m surprised by your judgment. The article seems shortsighted to me. Too focused on ads, and too focused on past and present.

@AngelLamuno the broader point is there are trade offs; it’s not nearly as black and white as many claim -
@monkbent Let’s just say we *cannot* presently know how dark the grey(s) is (are). -
@AngelLamuno nope. But that’s reality. -
@monkbent I better leave it there instead of risking being branded a conspiracy theorist or something like that :-) 2/2 -
@AngelLamuno I probably get your concerns. I’m by no means happy with the current state of affairs. I also think it’s somewhat inevitable -
@monkbent It’s certainly inevitable, on the condition that we are convinced it is. Besides, there are degrees of inevitability.

@monkbent ironically, pay+ad may feel "safer" than totally free. I have an idea of what Disney might try selling me next; but Google…? -
@mrgan it’s actually worse though, because then they have your full data (that’s why magazine subs are so cheap but never free) -
@monkbent another irony: the bigger ("creepier") the company, the less likely they may be to sell off your data.
