I think I am fully on-board with giving people the same option Kindle does:
* Offer price with view tracking
* Offer price without view tracking
I cannot argue that this shouldn't be clearly visible, and I think, for the benefit of the consumer this can't be a ridiculous matrix of all the different kinds of tracking. Opt-in or pay the higher price. That sounds fair. But "make it so no one can opt-in": no. That is oppressive nonsense from rich people who would go "How much does a TV cost, man? Ten thousand dollars? Just buy it."
Kindle offers advertisements at a discount. I purchased one such model.
AFAIK Amazon is not keeping a remote log of every file accessed on my Kindle. Can you point to something saying otherwise?

Visibility isn't really an issue either way if it's achieved normality.
I said "like the Kindle" in that it's clearly advertised what you're getting in the two different flavours. I didn't mean they track you. I was hoping to emphasise the clarity.
I can afford tons of things when they are subsidized. That's why coal, etc. still seem so sustainable and we think we can afford them as well.
