      I’d argue that the scam is less about selling data, and more about creating a world in which everyone is tracked all the time. Turning it into a for-profit business model is the thing that will drive the adoption and application of the technology. It’s bait for people who put greed above everything else, who will wrap the whole world in chains, for money.

        Eventually we will be paying a subscription fee not to be tracked. Only to find out that they still do track and will sell the backlog the moment we stop paying. Unless a data breach happens first.
