X comes with subscription, microtransactions, ads, wants your personal data, and/or is the result of regulatory capture.

the troubling part: not at first.

Then when something is "normal" stuff is "added" and when people complain they are ridiculed by others who don't realize or don't care.

I think we should normalize a little common sense. You know, the golden rule.

If you would not snoop on other people, why should other people snoop on you (phone app, iot, car, whatever)

X comes with its own blockchain.
