This makes a lot of sense I recently heard a comparison between Orwell and Huxley that stated that they differed mostly on how they believed control would be taken.

In the case of Orwell, he believed that control could be punished into the population and that they'd comply for fear of being punished again. Though, Skinner had evidence that this wasn't really feasible.

In the case of Huxley, he believed that it could be rewarded into the population to the point where the population would crave it and seek it out.

Feels like Huxley had the right idea. People are paying really good money to buy these spy devices to put into their homes.
