You make the argument from the consumer side, it's hard to argue, but digital systems are far more profitable. So that's how we got the world we got.

It turns out that "makes the most money for a small amount of people" is pretty much the same as "makes everything shitty for everyone else". It's time that we either stop accepting "most profitable" as an excuse for making things worse or start regulating/punishing bad behavior until it becomes so costly that it's no longer profitable.

Your response comes packaged with a pill that I believe many people would not swallow: If it makes more profit then we should do it.
