Yes, surveillance capitalism gives us some material things that are useful.

There are also about a billion things we have never even tried out because rich people believe there's no money in it! Maybe some of those things will also be useful and we should try those instead. Just sayin!!!!

Wikipedia would be a great example! No VC wants that, yet it is a great global resource.

Let's build a Mastodon like Wikipedia, not a proprietary one like Twitter!

Well, your use of Surveillance Capitalism says something. If some folks don't like a new tool or feature, they label it as Surveillance Capitalism and shame the developers rather than engaging in any kind of constructive dialogue.

It's one thing to say that a community is welcoming to developers. It's another thing to say that we're welcoming to developers, but only if they restrict themselves to ideas and features approved by a small self appointed group of gate keepers.
