        That would mean less money, at least in the short term, but also in the long term as it grants the user the autonomy of optionality, the power to choose some of Google’s edicts. Really it’s about the power to shape the choices of the users in the future. Take their power away. And in the future this will be conducive to leverage this power against the user for more money.

        I asked the AI about it, in case anyone is curious https://chatgpt.com/share/68454a70-5cd8-8005-8075-3579244f0ce4

          I’m tired of this evil is related to money. When did our species die on the hill that money’s more important than humanity itself?

              That is bullshit, the economy is created to force you into the labor market. This is just a symptom of capitalism.
