Then perhaps it should be said openly, that this is an elderly tax, not a pension and it should be just kept to the minimum, allowing people to save more of their own income for their own private pension.

Currently, it's the worst of both worlds: you get taxed quite a significant portion of your income, and then, in the middle of the game, someone changes the rules and tells you to play longer in order to get the prize.

While I agree with the post author on the "if I pay the subscription then there should be no ads" part, there is a bit that comes fairly often in such posts which I find rather funny: "sell my data to your advertisers"

Sorry, that's not how 90% of digital advertising works. The company doesn't sell your data, they just offer some other companies to put an ad in front of your screen based on some specific profiling.

But these ads companies don't receive a file called "Manuel Moreale personal data and shopping history"

How about we put responsibility on the CEOs and other C-levels?

When it comes to justifying the compensation packages, they are first to claim that they are responsible for the company achievements.

If they would actually face jail-time for non-disputable wrongdoing, then it would actually balance it out.

I bet that it will land on Google's graveyard before it gets released worldwide.
