"Even for their most ardent defenders, markets are supposed to "process aggregated demand signals" about the willingness of different parties to accept different offers. But if the only "demand signal" you can offer is a binary "take it or leave it," that's a very thin data set (and it gets thinner still when "leave it" requires a time machine so you can go back to before you started and warn yourself that the offer's going to be altered adversely in the future).
There are a range of ways to respond to a worsening offer from a merchant, well beyond "take it or leave it." You can complain. You can sue. You can picket. You can boycott. You can spraypaint "GREEDY PIGS" on the corporate headquarters. This is a rich set of informational inputs for the market indeed.
When it comes to digital services, you have even more opportunities to program the great market computer in the sky (all hail the infallible market computer!). For example, if a company makes the ads on its webpage too obnoxious and invasive, you can install an ad-blocker, a thing that 51% of all web users have done, making it the largest consumer boycott in human history:"

Now this is some deep social science research... carried out by a newspaper!!!
"TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, share little about how the app keeps users coming back. Journalists and researchers have utilized bot accounts to simulate how the recommendation system is tied to watch time and have conducted self-reported user surveys. But none of these approaches captures real human behavior.
So The Washington Post, through an unprecedented partnership with our readers, collected TikTok watch histories from 1,100 users. We created a database of roughly 15 million videos served up to them in a six-month period last year. Our analyses showed just how effective TikTok is at getting even its heaviest users to swipe more and watch more on its platform.
Among the more than 800 participants who live in the United States, some were barely using TikTok in the first week of April 2024, while others were already spending several hours a day scrolling through videos. Over the next five months, we compared the journeys of people at these two ends of the spectrum — the occasional users and the power users — to see how their TikTok usage evolved.
We focused on three key daily metrics to better understand how users built habits on the app over time:"

While the announcement from Germany's Bundestag regarding Chat Control is a promising sign, we can not let our guard down. Germany has been known to flip-flop in the past. They could very well flip again. Until they commit with their vote announcements, we can not let up.
The same goes with other undecided/flip-floppy EU countries. Keep calling your MEPs!
