Comment on What if people were paid for their data? in ~tech
Chip_dmg Link ParentJust to play devils advocate but Google, Facebook and Twitter are free services (I can't speak to medium because I don't know it and I'm too lazy to look it up).

What would you value the services they've rendered you in comparison with the data you've given them? If they went to a paid/subscriber model but stopped collecting data, how much would you spend to continue using their service?

I also fail to see an adequate reason for an organization like NASA to spend that much time, effort and money to save a couple bucks on payroll. Especially when we're talking about these slaves being children, who have no experience doing anything (since they're kids). Also, why kidnap when volunteers are so easy to find?
As I mentioned in my other comment, yeah. There is so much that would go into it, why would you put in children with no relevant experience? There is no way, when looking at the cost of the whole mission, that paying some people, lets say 1 mil/year (to go overboard like crazy) to live on mars who actually have relevant expertise would be worse than having random children do it for free. Especially when you can recruit randoms with some level of experience for free (if you really wanna save on labor cost). Even then, you probably get way more payout by sending people who are experts in appropriate fields.
