Mikina comments on Neon, the No. 2 social app on the Apple App Store, pays users to record their phone calls and sells data to AI firms

I'd day it's the other way around - you're paying extra for not consenting to tracking, so it's similar (and even worse) model that i.e Facebook has. There's no way the discount card discount is not factored in the normal price calculation, and I vager most shops are counting on the product not being sold for a bit until it's it's turn for a discount.

Whether you are paying extra if you don't use a discount card or you're paying less if you do use the discount card, either way you look at it, there's more money in your pocket if you walk out of the grocery store after using a discount card. So you have money by handing over data to whoever the store is selling it to.

Why would you think of using a card (taking an action) as the default, as opposed to not using a card (no action) as the default?
