    Do you own the music that you listen to? If you collect vinyl records or just happen to still have CDs laying around, then you do. But the majority of us in 2023 rely on subscription services like Spotify or Apple Music to borrow the music we enjoy. What about the movies you watch? Well, thanks to the access we have to streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, very few of us feel the need to own DVD or VHS tapes anymore and have instead become borrowers of the movies we watch as well.
    You might think these are just subscription models, but what about the games you buy from Steam, the PlayStation store or the Xbox Store, do you own those games? Or do you just own access to those games? If you own it, shouldn’t you be able to resell, lease, or even borrow it to someone else? These are just a few examples of how big tech has created a business model that has almost entirely erased personal ownership. And entertainment is just the beginning.

      2:15 these features, like heated steering wheels and seats, have always existed. Even in the 40s and 50s most cars had options, or upgrades, that you had to pay to get. These include special paints, leather seats... Car options are nothing new. Otherwise the rest of the video is accurate and the changes are very interesting to note.

    I think a major aspect of sharing is power. For example, people don’t worry so much about public transport as they have some political power to affect its operations. However, big tech is privately owned and companies trap users in separate platforms. I think an interesting approach would be to make cloud services (such as storage or email) a utility, like WiFi or electricity. This way users would actually *own* their data and see if Google, for instance, stores tracking information through Gmail. This would be quite difficult to implement but worth it IMO.

      @vertical5044 Год назад +11

      I'll offer slightly different perspective than the one in video. Though brace yourself as it's quite lengthy one 😅
      So is it about owning a thing or rather experiencing that thing (with a reasonable price)?
      Games, music or movies are i think foremost to be experienced and not owned. That's where a majority of it's value is in my opinion - that is when the price is right.
      I'll give an example: there is an EA Play gaming subscription that costs a little less than 20$ yearly. You get access to over 100 games. Maybe on multiplayer games that someone plans to play for long it may not be worth it but if someone wants to play their single player games, it's such a good deal. You could buy maybe 3 of their games and on fat, fat discount for 20$. For physical copies it could be down to 2 games, cause of delivery and manufacturing of components.
      I play ~3 hours daily and chew through many single player games a year.
      I personally would much rather experience 30 games through subscription, rather than 3 or 2 through digital / physical buy. Even if i would resubscribe to experience these games, it still would be a better deal.
      Now on the other hand there are caveats to subscriptions too. The ones i think about are not entertainment experiences but rather basic necessities, like home or car ownership. Here the price is astronomical and I'd say it would be better to own even a small, good enough house or apartment than to rent. Sadly housing market is so fking pricy.
      The monopolization and data gathering are also different topics for a different time. These may be dependent on person views (i don't care much about data thing) and the company itself - is it great or not so great? I believe in Steam as game distribution platform and it never disappointed me.

      @@pa5666 Yeah the video kind of focuses on one side and few aspects of that side, which is far away from complete picture. But then if the creator were to post 2 hours long videos taking everything into consideration, then it wouldn't fit the current audience most likely.
      A simple remedy would perhaps be a disclaimer at the start and end about how this video shows a part of perspective, not the whole and so it should be taken into consideration. Otherwise it may create sort of ''echo chamber'' of information, where we hyperfocus on one side and think that this is everything to explore in this topic.
      Perhaps creator has certain political views that seep into the videos or perhaps he plays too strong into wording and imaging of video. Even if creator plays the YT game, It still kinda comes out too strong in my opinion.

    Last year I was working 44 hours/week had signed for gamepass, Amazon prime Crunchyroll and Spotify, I had little over 4 hours a day and one free day a week to have some fun.
    I never felt like there were good deals, then I got fired in December.
    I cancelled prime video. Crunchyroll and Spotify, I still have 6 months of game pass.
    I figured going back to the old days was the best, I got anything I wanted to watch or listen for free, the difference between getting them from free and paying is none, because in the end you don't own any of it, at least the "free" version you can store on a hardrive and play whenever you want.
    Used to play a lot on unlocked consoles. Would buy games not even knowing they were original games. Gaming on PC is the best. O do like the Xbox and the gamepass, its a great value, but having a PS2 or PS3 unlocked to download anything you want is something else.
    I feel dumb now that I bought digital games on the Xbox, payed the same price as a phisical copy and it will probably only stay with me for 10-20 years.
    I believe we can have digital copies on the Blockchain. Soo each copy is unique and could be sold to others. This is where the future is for me.
    You own things but digitally.

      a blockchain shouldnt be needed. just the option/*right* to download and have the copy on your own machine, down to the source code, is what's needed.
      No outside connection needed, infinitely reproducible, as all digital things already are regardless of what companies want us to think.

      @@timothygooding9544 idk about this, what I know is that you can creat like 10 million copies of a game and sell them for 30$ if it's a bad game or 60$ if it is a AAA, having the source code would get people to easily break the game and give it for free to others, they would never do it.
      They also don't want a block chain system. Because it limits for them how much they can make.
      Here my idea.
      You get a Blockchain, buy the game, you own it. Can donwload anytime, the licensing is bullshit because you have paid for it.
      If they ever remove it from availability they will be force to release the source code and make the game free for each and everyone to access.
      Before it get free for all. You should be able to sell your property to other, just like a phisical copy.

    • @timothygooding9544
      @timothygooding9544 Год назад

      @@goldenplayer4966 the source code bit was a little extreme on my part but the point is that it's still always dependent on something outside of yourself. The Blockchain, the promise to release a game fully when it's no longer offered, none of that is guaranteed or guaranteeable.
      A physical product is owned by you because outside of recent inventions like internet-connected software, the company no longer has any control over a product after it leaves them, meaning you can do what you want with it and they cannot intervene, not because of rules they promised but because they would have to physically steal it to have control again.
      I'm not too sure on the topic but I'm pretty sure that games that fully run without needing an internet connection do so by the full source code being on your computer, even if you don't have the tools to open/edit it or if it's encrypted in some way.

The cost of home entertainment though not being nothing is without question the lowest it's ever been. Even shared access to A Prime grants me so many free premium audiobooks a month, providing more hours of listening experience than I have to give in a month. I pay for internet; that's it basically. PC culture is the most cost efficient means of entertainment accessibility without question.

    I'm afraid of the fact that subscription service has already becoming a norm. You bought a PS5, you not just have to pay for the game, you have to continuously subscribe for PS online for connecting online game. Some games come with DLC which you have to purchase if you want to unlock the next storyline.
    The major consequences of "renting" instead of "owning" it is you have no control of the product and have to face the risk of price changes like Netflix, Spotify and Apple Music. Matter of fact, those companies is trying their best in achieving new height earning every year. No doubt when the subscription user have been populated, the only option for them is to increase the subscription fee.

Yeah CDS will damage over time, casette will too but I loved collecting them.
    One more issue is , the world is much easier and fun. Dont need to buy outside stuff and stock doesnt run out . Same with privacy or microtransaction , the reason they exist/non exists is because majority of people don't care about it .
    Like someone said in a gaming video that new gamers will be born will the idea that microtransaction and gambling ( lootbox ) is normal in gaming .. , same with new future people who have no access to old way of owning things who think that " this is normal " ...

Besides, since I download everything, I have over 2TB of movies and series on my drive and I can safely keep it there for a long, LONG time! The money that I would spend will be for new HDD's with more space so I can keep doing that.
    Games on the other hand.. I do have probably the majority of games on services like Steam, Epic Games, Ubisoft, etc... but there are certain games that I can get for free and keep them stored on my PC as well.
