Where is the other side?

If one party makes a lot of money, then most react with things like "oh, well done", "how did you manage" or "you must be very happy".

The real question one should ask is "who payed for your wealth?". The answer is, of course, all the others where the poorest and not-so-fortunate probably payed most of the price.

This floc discussion is exactly the same. It will bring in a lot for few (especially google), but the real people in the floc (the entire population) will pay for that. The price may seem low at first, but some valuables cannot be bought back once known or sold. In the end that is exactly your very high price and the very value which companies, as google, use to make fortunes.
