Aktually, for most Internet services in China today, one already needs a phone number to create an account, which is linked back to the national ID. So, there isn’t any anonymity to begin with.

It’s all right. Deep down, we are all animals.

Lots of animals unironically do this.

According to the UK’s Labour Party’s report on worker co-operatives in 2017, the main difficulty is access to credit (capital). It makes sense since the model basically eliminates “outside investors”. It has to

1. Bootstrap with worker’s own investment, or
2. Get investment from credit unions, or
3. Have (national or local) government to back it up

Even in the above cases, the credit is often not large or cheap enough for the cooperatives to be competitive. (There are examples in the report that serve as exceptions, I highly recommend giving it a read.)

So at least from this, I’d think the appropriation of means of production would be more fundamental rather than being a simple result of some special way of organizing.

u/Dangerous-Pizza7054 from the article,

Seems like the user tracking “special promotion” overrides the premium. They don’t even say whether it’s expected or not. But my take away is that paying for premium may or may not show you ads, but you are definitely tracked and harvested for data. (Maybe even more so, since, well, you are more valuable to them.)
