They practically want to funnel users like cattle and not let them think about it or compare things.

It’s like corporations are angry that they need to go through us to get our money.

This is why I think the "you're the product" saying is wrong. You're just some annoyance to managers (whether they're trying to use you just for user numbers and ad views or they're trying to get your money), whose product is the company (shares or just outright selling the company).

Users already use the internet to compare things. It makes no sense to bet on them not doing that.

You can sit on your couch all day for 30 days and corporations will still be able to take your money. The marvels of frictionless payments.
