The whole digital economy model is broken if it's built on tracking pixels, endless permission pop-ups, and algorithmic gatekeeping. Real economic systems need transparency and free flow of value—not surveillance capitalism dressed up as user experience. We're essentially trying to power the future with tools designed for control, not liberation. That's why decentralized alternatives keep gaining traction despite all the resistance.

Honestly, surveillance capitalism should have died a long time ago, but the problem is—are today’s decentralized solutions really more efficient? Looking at on-chain gas wars and mempool monitoring, it’s actually just another form of “control,” only in a glass house this time. Transparency ≠ efficiency; these two shouldn’t be confused. Algorithmic gateways are indeed nasty, but the arbitrage opportunities from flash loans and sandwich attacks are insane too. Talking about “liberation” here is a bit idealistic, ngl.

To put it bluntly, this system is just big companies fencing off their own territory and entertaining themselves, using user experience as an excuse for surveillance. Isn't this just rebranded authoritarianism? Web3 should have arrived long ago.

To be honest, this same old surveillance capitalism should die; it's just a rebranding.

To put it bluntly, big companies are using surveillance in exchange for advertising revenue, and we’re supposed to say thank you? That’s really outrageous.

That's right, this system is a joke right now, with power concentrated in the hands of a few big players.

Surveillance capitalism should have died out long ago, yet they still insist on packaging it as "enhancing user experience"—what a joke.
