Actually, if you look at my writing, I generally defended the big platforms before reading Jaron's work and didn't think at all about the data labor issues. So yes, we now agree, but because he persuaded me on this and many other issues, like UBI

If he persuaded you on many issues, it is even less surprising or objective for him to laud you as a future genius. (I am not meaning to criticize your work w/ this perspective, it sounds fresh & interesting. My criticism is for the hollow accolade).

Sorry, so you are saying you should never be influenced by someone you think is brilliant? Anyone who accepts relativity shouldn't praise Einstein? All those relativity haters are the only credible sources?

If the world of relativity was full of people advocating false beliefs for ideological or political reasons, then of course I would find an intra-tribe endorsement less credible. It would be foolish not to.
