I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”.
Why am I seeing ads if I’m already paying for the premium plan!? 😑

The whole notion of “If you’re not the product, then you’re the product” died a while ago.
Now, you’re paying for the product, and you continue to be the product.
Paying for the product = monthly/yearly subscription You’re the product = unique identifiers, data mining/harvesting, tracked across the web, etc. Perhaps even training some AI models in the background, too.
So this is what “neofeudalism” boils down to?
That’s more “the oligarchs own and run everything and you must work for their benefit or you die”
Yup
