What Tor does is keep the dollar hungry, information grabbing >Web providers and web sites from gathering and selling my info. no arguments there... "keep the dollar hungry" is pristine, reads like some famous quotation https://duckduckgo.com/?q=keep+the+dollar+hungry but google, bing, etc. also yielded no match... seems you've coined it! (in the classic sense that axiomatic phrases don't require attribution) "love-hate relationship" (with the dollar) describes this principle in biblical terms, but "keep the dollar hungry" sounds more like marching orders, similar to "vote with your feet", and my favorite 1960s bumper sticker "what if they gave a war and nobody came" (the almighty dollar)
