Ok, and I'm saying that a platform can make money without causing a privacy crisis that requires a government to step in. Plenty do.
I'm saying that the thing that makes sites more bloated and unpleasant is when they get retooled to squeeze every last drop of profit from their users.
We don't have to turn this disagreement into "sites need to make money" vs "everything should be free". There's a middle ground, in which my original point sits.
