 But if you use the internet AT ALL these days, you have already consented. And you have benefitted.

 Oh I know its being shared and I still dont like it and never will. Those “benefits” are too small for me to be considered a plus. To the contrary, its creepy as fuck. I search for things myself. Lose the ago following you around and your mind will be less polluted by dopamine injections. Be as random as possible, make the advertisers pay more, make them look for ghosts. If they wanna pay, pay me a salary for my data.

 But there really isn’t a choice. Only walled gardens. … so THIS is the difference that the Nostrverse provides. Real freedom of choice AND open data for all.
