Hey Hive account@delvamaynardreid think about it like this. We pay media platforms like facebook by allowing them to mine our personal information and sell it to third party companies. We also pay them by generating the site traffic that makes the platform profitable. Further, through using the platform we expose ourselves to their paid advertising. This makes facebook a lot of money, and we will never see a dime of it directly from the platform. Should we get paid for putting our information on the internet, or should a centralized company be allowed to take the information for free and sell for a profit? Should we get paid for generating the traffic that makes a platform successful, or should we allow a company to continue fueling itself via our time and thoughts for free? Is it selfish to see the value that social media platforms have created and think, the value doesn't lie in the company behind it, but in the people who use it? I don't think that is selfish at all. In fact, I think it makes us inherently more likely to contribute productively to our community and be better people. I hope you understand what I mean in this post and can see where I'm coming from! Peace.
