Anyways I think that “pay or consent” model isn’t that bad. You either pay with your data or your money. Seems fine to me though pay only would be better. Everyone is used to getting everything online for free. It has to change now imo. The internet isn’t a bunch of hobby forum projects anymore. The price of running a popular website is big and idk if privacy-respecting ads can give enough profit at this point.
You can show ads without tracking and keeping users their right to privacy, right? I think it’s different selling user data than having some ads on your website.
It is bad. Companies could just have some removeding standards.
The issue is profit-motivated companies existing in the first place.
Rather, they should be self-led, and motivated towards the best labour environment as according to their workers. That means their workers feeling accepted, heard and listened to, being able to not only live but also thrive. And all that, while still making the organisation more efficient.
Only in the EU.

You can but, as I said, it’s much less profitable.
Which brings us back to the real, underlying, problems with the prevalent model: greed and the concentration of wealth.
which is inherent to, and the express goal of a capitalist economic system.
What about this https://lemmy.world/post/20593105
Some people will find a way to abuse everything for ultra profit. Sadly it will never change.

That’s true but absolutely impossible to achieve.
