Why Nukemap Isn't on Google Maps Anymore

We are paying for it in:

* personal data & attention

* opportunity cost (b/c their market domination deters investment interest in alternatives)

* advertising costs (each $ that businesses have to spend on advertising is a $ taken from R&D, profits which get reinvested in the economy, and/or consumers' pockets)

Just because you don't pay directly with money doesn't mean there isn't a cost.

Sorry, but this seems like nonsense to me. You are telling me that the curtailing of your attention by an app which you voluntarily install and voluntarily use is a ‘cost’ such that you are a stakeholder in the app?

This is a great article. But it’s irrelevant to this discussion.
