This is how we will likely end up paying for services AND STILL having our data sold. It's just the nature of capitalism. Businesses have to grow, and in today's world selling data is always the natural progression towards it.
A parallel example is streaming services starting out as "tv but no ads and on demand!" or "just pay for the service and you won't see ads!" but now we are paying and there's still ads.
Doesn’t every on-demand streaming service still have an ad-free option?
Capitalism is running out of time. It is 100% incompatible with the AI revolution and will devolve into fascism if the capitalists retain power or a revolution of varying left leaning systems if we get off our asses and eat the rich.
Either way, traditional capitalism's time is almost over.
