#25I also applaud this and personally would prefer to just pay for services instead of being the product, but I'm afraid this is not a popular opinion. People don't want to pay, at least not knowingly. I'm curious how this will play out.
> People don't want to pay, at least not knowingly
That’s fairly recent. It was (and is) normal to pay for having a phone number. Paying more for making a phone call was normal, too, as was paying for such services as a phone line that told you the current time or a weather prediction.
It was also normal to pay for having an email address, and most people, to this day, pay for having internet connectivity.
I think it’s more that people object to moving from ‘free’ to paid. If most people pay for a service, they’ll accept that as the way it is.
For example, I think people would happily pay $1 of more a month for GPS, if it never hadn’t been free.

That ONE person out of 300m in the EU bothered to chase this topic.
Yes, I'm asking who this "one person" is. This is being chased by NOYB, an organization of multiple people.
Not OP, but Max Schrems (and that's why the decisions related to this are called Schrems, Schrems II et al.). To be fair, he leads NOYB (so it's not just him), but he has a personal interest here.

I read this once: There are two kinds of people: those who want to make the world a better place and those who want to make enough money to afford to not care.
Do you think that a guy that writes something like that, is going to understand/consider your message? 10/1 you're better off speaking to a chair

> pay for services instead of being the product That cliché is no longer applicable (was it ever?) and repeating it only helps the worst infringers. You can pay and still be the product. Consider the streaming services which charge you but still serve ads, or physical appliances that you buy but send your usage habits to the manufacturer (like TVs). Paying is not a guarantee that a company will treat you or your priv…
Here here. Paying no longer protects anything. If anything, you’re more valuable as a data brokered account if you’re KYC verified as a real person: so in fact the opposite case is now often the reality. Consider that paying makes you prime rib for Sunday dinner from a data perspective: card verified PII. And do not forget that you can be assigned an ID and disassociated from your data, which can then be tracked anon…
