Given that this is still fairly underground with all the secret startups, contact Jonathan etc, how should this impact on deciding to do this sooner rather than later? From reading this,  it seems like this is not particularly difficult to do in 2023, providing you know where to look, and will likely get easier in the next few years.

My concern is that as this becomes more widespread, sociopolitical pushback will cause it to become more difficult/costly/less effective, either through social pressure or regulation. You have mentioned already that companies have removed certain predictors; I suspect that this is just the beginning, and more obstacles will appear as this becomes more widely known among the public.

From this perspective, I would argue that people should plan to do this in the next few years, while it is comparatively unknown/unregulated.
