Maybe a race where the finish line is maximum exploitation of the digital population isn't a race worth running.

Yes, let's all marvel at the accomplishment of making everything funded by exploitative and intrusive but largely useless advertisements.

All digital startups are literally doomed without the indiscriminate collection of personal tracking data.

Side note: thank you modern adtech for consistently recommending me products I already bought days and weeks before. Very effective. Gullible companies just keep paying cold hard cash for these garbage recommendation systems because some sales rep talks fluffy about AI and machine learning, it's so mindblowing....

here I thought maximum exploitation would be selling someones identity on the dark web but I come to find on HN that it's actually hashed analytics data D: !!!

I wish the internet was purely an informational no bullshit interface/store instead of all this crap. I welcome these changes. Convert it back into a piece of furniture. Oh no we can't make a billion dollars for no reason.

So lets legalise child labour? Get rid of OSHA?

Where you draw the line is cultural and personal, so don’t dismiss things like this so easily.
