You agreed to everything
Without reading
Without understanding
Without pausing
And now what you are
Is a product
Not a user
Not the cause
Attention has become a currency
The time you spend on the screen is sold
Every scroll is a bill every search fills
The coffers of those who want you to be predictable and submissive
There's no such thing as a free service there are hidden costs
The price is what you feel what you believe
Your fears are data your grief is the result
Of an algorithm that knows before you do
There are things the market shouldn't touch
Democracy doubt affection
But the market has already arrivedand it won't back down
Unless someone decides to take a stand
Terms of service that no one read
Terms of service that you accepted
You sold what was still yours
And the contract never asked you
Polarization wasn't an accident
It was the most profitable product on the dashboard
Hate engages more and engagement sells
It doesn't matter what you say what matters is the cartel
And democracies rot from the inside
While the feed decides what's true
There's no debate there's only content
That confirms what the camera feeds you
There are things the market shouldn't touch
Democracy doubt affection
But the market has already arrived and it won't back down
Unless someone decides to take a stand
Terms of use that no one read
Terms of use that you accepted
You sold what was still yours
And the contract never asked you
Data
Data
Data
You're not the customer you're the product
And the product has no voice no vote
The product just serves
Until it's replaced
There are things that are priceless
And that's exactly what the market targets
Dignity can't be downloaded
But they're working on it
Terms of use that no one read
Terms of use that you accepted
You sold what was still yours
And the contract never asked you
Terms of use
Accepted
