Yes, we're the mine they extract from !
They excavate us. Every click is ore refined into billions. Isn't it wealth extraction colonialism in a UI?
Their "useful free tools" are oil pit infrastructure.
We're the redeemed dopamine hits!
Our stupefied inertia is their moat.
Yep, the exit strategy is to tear down enclosures, and reclaim the commons.
Open protocols over open-air prisons (despite their nice landscaping) !

@zack@mamot.fr @JulianOliver@mastodon.social Are we still talking about Proton? I subscribe to their service, which makes me a paying customer. If they don't deliver, I have recourse. Same with my Flickr Pro subscription. I don't have a problem with companies offering freemium products. It's not the same model of data harvesting as in "free" social media apps from Meta or Google (which I stopped using years ago). There's NO amount of dollars you can pay Meta to escape being the product.
