      It's the same with law enforcement. A cop can blatantly lie to you and it's considered legal, a part of their job duties. However, when a citizen lies to a cop it's illegal, and often ends up with the citizen being charged with a crime as well as being arrested and taken to jail. 2 tier judicial system for sure. Cheers

      What specifically is good about it (apart of the creative narrative - that is brilliant as always)? All these creative, genial and brilliant people do not even _mention_ low consumption, or low-ER consumption, or strategies of frugal living or fasting or something like that. How is this possible?! I am puzzled.
      All this is a (creative) cannibalization of society by dopamine instant-gratification brain. It's painfully simple but true. Cannibalization is present on all levels (both material and abstract), does this paradigm even require an explanation?

      @LordofFullmetal 4 месяца назад +5

      I wish we could - but realistically, that hurts more people than it helps. And not the big corporations, because they can afford to find other ways of advertising. The people who get hurt by the removal of internet advertising are the everyman. That author who makes a living selling their books. That artist who does commissions. That person working in digital advertising who's just trying to feed their family. THOSE are the people that get hurt.

    • @syloui
      @syloui 4 месяца назад

      I love how he spent half the talk talking about monopolization and how competition was what once kept industry players in check, only to end the talk with "the answer is unions" instead of giving big tech the middle finger in response to the carrot on a stick of six figure salaries and going off to start the competition that is lacking
      People don't want enshitification, they just don't think they have a choice. Unions seize your voice for the collective while parasatizing a chunk of your salary for no results. Look no further than the globalized decadence of the "American" auto industry despite the existence of the UAW, or the animation industry despite sagaftra: in the age of globalization they don't have to care about domestic work because they can always outsource to another country willing to work for pennies on the dollar. You beat them with superior products as time in memoriam has proven, like what happened to Bell and IBM. For the history of entrepreneurialism in tech we have far too many "tech bros" looking for exit velocity from selling out start ups to the nearest VC firm shadow ran by big tech anyway; the pirates of silicon valley were subsumed by the sellouts of silicon valley, we need more 70s Apples and Compaqs than FAANG wannabes and that stubborn willingness to stand up to them in the face of hostile take over attempts will be far more effective at saving us than unionizing

I also think we need to be strategic and wise about how we approach this problem, because the same way that the tech corporations have abused their power and taken their greed too far, the power behind our movement to undo the abuse can also be taken too far, and that makes us no better than them. Let's make sure we do this right and responsibly!
