Would you mind sharing with us your detailed calculations,
which would prove the value that you supposedely giving
is actually more or at least equal to undenianble value
of content you GET?

This "something" you paying for content that you are
referring to seems to be nowhere near enough to cover
costs (which are in many cases ridiculously too high,
talk dot-com cash burn here).

Matter of fact is that despite all this information you
were referring to that most websites collect, very
FEW can actually turn it into real $$$. Privacy issues
do not help to solve this problem either.
