    I think you’ve just neatly summarized, uh …

    … The world (such as we’ve incentivized it, anyway).

      Sadly, yes.

      What it comes down to is that any product or service with a profit incentive will inevitably betray you, no matter how good or how well-intentioned it started out.

      Our only saviour is open source, self hosting, and federation.

      It’s why ownership rather than rental is the model we should all individually be pursuing.
