It's such a tough issue. It's only valuable in aggregate, but it's currently mindlessly making postmodern theory an actual reality, somehow. I don't know what the answer is, but its use in creating our truth bubbles is breaking us.
if you're the sort of person who wants to pay to keep your data private, congrats, *you* are that negligible sliver whose data is actually worth enough to subsidize free file storage, communication & networking for everyone else globallyhttps://twitter.com/AlecStapp/status/1275097260154478602 …

it has nothing to do with individual data points, it is the cumulative overarching dataset that is worth an exponential of what individual pieces are worth.

I would probably be willing to pay *something* to keep my data private. (Maybe - Facebook, Google, make me an offer!) But I don't think my data on its own is actually worth that much to big tech companies. Even the data about which ads I actually click on.

The problem isn't that companies profit off our data, but that they collect data I'd simply rather not forfeit. It's my responsibility alone to use the web in ways that minimize surveillance (e.g. uBlock, Tor), but that's been made inconvenient on purpose by interested parties.

Do they have smartphones or surf the web using any of the major browsers (Duck Duck Go, etc. excluded)? Then yes.
