would you feel differently if the context was changed?

not sure, but I don't want to go to any "crowded parks" at any "specific time" or be trained to do something ( bad ) in the name of being incentivized. 👀 so I guess it depends on what we are talking, and the only sustainable incentivizes comes from inside.

And what if someone takes advantage of those incentivizes? And there is no free lunch in this world - how do these programs make money?

I don't have the exact details but somewhere the model is there.

On No Agenda this subject is covered in the media deconstruction.

Again, I can't remember which episode by No Agenda covered this. Bingit.io is the NA search engine and all shows have a full transcript. I'll have to see if anyone else remembers this.

But yes it is a way to map people, purchasing power, habits and even locations. I'm sure all the ones are doing it but the silly dance tool allows the vendor, not the company, to mine all kinds of product and consumer data.
