> The market is clearly too stupid to vote against the rent seeking tech industry. It makes me so sad.

A lot of this bullshit only happens long after the sale has been made and consumers are blindsided when things advertised as free are suddenly paywalled off behind a subscription following a ToS update.

"The market" is never going to solve this. What we need are consumer protections in the form of laws and regulations with real teeth and consistent enforcement.
