> consumer know what they buy into Consumers don't know anything about what's being done to them. Even on Hacker News I get accused of being a paranoid schizophrenic "tinfoil hat" user when I point out the fact we have trillion dollar corporations building digital fiefdoms with users as the serfs. You think non-technologists can grasp this? You have far more optimism and faith in humanity than me if you truly believe that. | |||||||||||||||||

> building digital fiefdoms with users as the serfs I wouldn't call you names, but this does sound rather extreme. It also sounds rather imprecise. Is this a metaphor, or a hyperbole, or do you actually mean this literally? If so, in what way I, an iOS user, going to be an Apple serf? | |||||||||||||||||

but that just late-stage capitalism ????? I understand where your coming from but the words of choice make it maybe more hyperbole also stop acting like most user is idiot tbh they just dont care enough for this shit they do care if the situation get worse, and until then if said corporation is "refuse" to serve customer like they used to be people can retaliate | |||||||||||||||||
