It's that whole frog analogy, where you can slowly boil a frog alive by gradually increasing the temperature by small increments.

  1. Introduce cutting edge tech to the masses, claiming it will usher in a new era of connection, convenience and utility.

  2. Firmly entrench that tech into every corner of modern society so that most day-to-day activities SUPPOSEDLY cannot be done without it.

  3. Slowly tighten the screws by removing user agency and freedom while raising prices.

  4. Become obscenely wealthy from an entire generation of locked-in consumers who think they have no choice but to submit to your control over their lives.

  5. Wash, rinse and repeat.
