That did not address or refute any of my points. Have a good day sir.

Man you have a hard on for corporations. It’s like you believe life can only exist if it sucks corporate cock. At the beginning of last century 90% of Americans were self-employed. What you say about everyone working together to produce lumber is not even far fetched. It actually happened.

Technology has been heading towards micronization for awhile now. 3d printing of not only houses but also drugs. We have the technology already to move away from the too big to fail strategy life has become. Small design labs producing the products people need without the enormous waste and pollution.

Your large scale production mindset is not sustainable nor is it the future.

I live in Alaska and have a friend with a mill that’s just a few circular saws and a chainsaw. He makes great rough cut lumber.

You really need to start thinking for yourself and stop believing all the garbage you have been fed.

I setup a Plex server to stream media to my mobile phone anywhere in the world. It took me ten minutes of mostly pointing and clicking to setup. Please tell me how hard Internets are…

There is so much wrong with how you think. First of all why does Grandma want 11 million views!? I mean really do you even listen to yourself.

The answer to your question would be a protocol like BitTorrent. The more people who watch a clip the more distributed bandwidth would be available.

We have already passed the tipping point where creators are now paying more for their media to be consumed than they are getting paid. Where do you think this is heading? Do you want a future of YouTube enshitification!?

Your inability to see the Internet as a distributed resource is astounding considering it’s purpose. I will repeat what I said before there is no reason social media can’t be done without the corporations controlling everything.

You can easily host your own videos, if everyone did and we used advanced sharing protocols the load can be distributed. The more people watching the more bandwidth.

You have become brainwashed into believing only YouTube can exist. You have bought into it so bad you think someone who wants your rights and privacy protected is a free loader.

We can do at all without them. There is something wrong and perverse about a single entity controlling that much of our culture. Too big to fail you say, I say too big to care about what really matters.

I deny your economic reality. There is no reason social media needs to charge. It can be run purely on volunteers and donations. It may not be able to be as big as FB but that is okay. We don’t need giant multimedia companies running social media anyways.

We need strong privacy protections for everyone, not just paying customers. It is time to put an end to targeted advertising.

A privacy law that only works for paying customers? I think we can do far better than that.

The tone-deafness of this reply is pretty ridiculous considering how badly he fucked up. He disbanded the team who was supposed to respond to this disaster, denied it was a big deal, told people not to vaccinate when he got the shot, and politicized a public health issue unnecessarily.

It is estimated hundred of thousands of less deaths would have happened if Trump had just done his job and not spent his time grandstanding and demonizing public health officials. To put that in perspective, that is more US deaths than every single conflict since WWII combined.

So yeah, when you are purposely killing hundreds of thousands of Americans while hand waving it away like it is no big deal you get to own that. The reason unemployment was so bad was because of Trump not COVID.

To top it off, the Biden administration turned it all around and showed us how much of a dysfunctional shit show the previous administration was. To this day places that drank the Trump Kool aid still have higher deaths rates.

That one trick NASA does not want you to know about.

Ever notice the sign looks like a dick? Now we know where that horsey sauce comes from.

It is like a jet plane passing overhead with you isn’t it? Not even disagreeing with you just pointed out your simple explanation is right only if you set the price too low. Then I mentioned competition is the best way to handle it which you restated like you were correcting an imaginary straw man. Needless to say your basic econ lesson breaks down whenever the price fails to be elastic which happens quite often.

You must be an asspie or something I guess.

If you are starving then the price of wheat is not very elastic, but do carry on. Whatever is clever.

Basic economics says this only happens when the cap is set to low but it is entirely possible to adjust accordingly as seen in systems like universal healthcare. Thanks for the sophomoric understanding though it really added to the conversation /s

Price caps set to low cause this. Luckily we have a lot of data available nowadays and with AI a more managed economy should be a no brainer. Pretending reigning in price gouging will cause shortages is disingenuous. Although the best way to handle this would be to increase competition.

That is the point, then we can finally lay Christianity to rest. It is clear the majority of Christians are not followers of Christ. Killing off or ignoring their own prophet would force them to recognize they are just authoritarian assholes.

This is seriously funny! Too bad so many commenters are apologists.

Naw, what is fucked up is this guy is still making music like it never happened. Kudos to his public relations people who enabled a serial abuser to ignore the repercussions of his own actions. Hey guys, did you hear that new hit song he made?
