I mean, generally I’m all for shitting on reddit, but there’s also a third option: Reader’s not understanding what 28% better than other ad types means.

Loved that Doctor Who (NewWhoS01E02) quote:

You lot, you spend all your time thinking about dying, like you’re going to get killed by eggs or beef or global warming or asteroids. But you never take time to imagine the impossible, that maybe you survive.

Except that’s not really the trade-off. There will still be means to secure communication and people who have an incentive to do so will go the extra mile to make sure they won’t be spied upon.

But we’ve opened the another door to spy on the general population, because average Joe won’t care. Another big leap towards total control, total surveillance.
