Will you get a check for your posts on HN? Your tweets? No, right? So all this talk about paying people for their data is rubbish, and what is really at stake here are checks between huge corporations that already stole it from you in the first place.

I'm not quite sure which side your on but yeah, I personally have stopped participating in social media since realizing I'm the product.

HN I agree with you, but I feel like I'm getting enough back from this community to make my time worth it.
