Maybe consumers would be more willing to hand over their browsing data as a new revenue stream if the process didn't begin with ISPs assuming all of their customers were idiots?
Probably because the vast majority of ISP customers ARE idiots.
"Oh no! My computer might be running slowly! Let me click on the link to fix it!"
"Wow, a price from Nigeria wants to have ME, of all people, help him transfer money. Let me break out my gold Amex."
People will go off on some quest half-cocked because some blog linked to another blog who linked to another blog about some injustice that actually never took place.
Idiots drive the world now. Gotta cater to them first. So we get lovely press speaking points talking about "enhanced user experience" and "better browsing". Never mind that most of it is indeed bullshit, but most idiots will never understand anyways. |
