Any TOS that's too long and convoluted for a layperson to read should not be binding. Our legal system is the church preaching in latin.

The alternative is to walk away. No one should be forced to do business with you on your terms, even when that someone is an unlikable corporation.

But they can be forced to do business under particular terms, or can be forced to do business with everyone under the same terms. If they don't want to, they can walk away from the business, but society has to have standards.

I've had an idea for a while, that I'll probably never get around to. The idea is to throw some ML or other appropriate analysis at privacy policies and eulas to monitor for changes and possibly offer alerts, explanations and practical advice to users.

There's https://tosdr.org/ which is similar. It monitors T&Cs of popular sites, analysing them and spotting changes.

Absolutely, but the backlash might trigger awareness and even reform around the way TOS are developed.

Who and how will define that TOS agreements are bad and that there no alternative?

How do we manage to have any laws? We should use that process.
