I've been tempted to mute the word threads for obvious reasons. But maybe now's a good time to remember Chesterton's view, the mastodon in the room, advertising.
"It is really not so repulsive to see the poor asking for money as to see the rich asking for more money. And advertisement is the rich asking for more money."
Full quote here:

I wonder what he would have said about personal data extortion ("use this app & we'll take this personal data" is really just extortion.)
