  • Sure and I agree. That’s why I mention that I’m bummed out about not being able to attend big venue concerts any more. But I know why they’re doing it and I understand the cost.

    As far as I can se, every person who understand what this means is angry about it. But once one accepts that the vast majority of people are NPC’s, not willing to sacrificy even such a meaningless thing as entertainment… This is what we get.

    In fairness with the warped society we have, entertainment has become a value in it self, way more valuable than building a better world for ourselves and those who comes after. A consumer society to the max.

    I’ve tried warning, I’ve offered alternatives, I’ve talked about the cost - But instead of people attending no-app-required baseball matches and build a new industry they begrudginly use the app, complain about signing away their privacy and just keep on eroding the world.

    What are we to do but try to save ourselves?

    I don’t care if the big corpos set up obvious data privacy traps that sucks the data right out of people’s pockets any more than I’m upset about a venomous snake on the side of the road. I’m more upset with the people who blindly walk into them despite clear warnings from more knowledgeable people, and in the process gives up OTHER people’s data as well.

    I don’t want Facebook to have my phone number associated with my name, yet I’m sure countless people over the years have given it to them by uncritically accepting the app’s terms and pressed the “Sure, go ahead and have full access to my phone’s contact list” button.
