you signed a Terms of Service you never read when you were born. it's called the social contract. it dictates where you can work. how much of your income you keep. what substances you can put in your body. who you can marry in some places. what you can say in others. you didn't agree to it. you can't fork it. there's no competitor offering better terms. the only opt-out is moving to a different country – which requires permission from both the country you're leaving and the country you're entering. imagine if any SaaS product operated this way. "you can cancel your subscription, but only if a competing product approves your transfer, and also you need to physically relocate your entire life." the App Store would reject it. but somehow it's the foundation of modern civilization. I'm not saying this to be nihilistic. I'm saying it because the first step to building better systems is admitting the current ones are weird.
