> users being scammed out of the true value of their contributions is it a scam? Or are the users willingly trade their data for features? > The SpaceX that built heavily on gifted NASA research and expertise i think you're discounting their own hardwork. NASA research is available to any other company - it isn't an exclusive transfer. |

Is it a scam if I buy a $1 million painting off you for $50, knowing that I'm aware of its value and that you aren't? It's at best unfair and disingenuous. But what's more important to consider is how the scale of this imbalance has warped our economy: as mentioned above, a large portion of our most educated workers are getting paid to build addictive social media platforms instead of things that are useful and sellable, because tech companies are capitalizing on an arbitrage opportunity that is so massive as to probably be unfair, if not criminal, somehow.
>NASA research is available to any other company
But not NASA grants and personnel contacts.
