My real point is that there's nothing wrong with sharecropping; because you still have your past revenues, until the point the landowner pulls the rug. The implication of GP, that you somehow shouldn't have chosen sharecropping until that point, is totally wrong for the majority of the people who make that choice. (For another example see app developers on Apple's App Store. Nothing wrong with their choice.)
The GP post made it super explicit: "Don't be a sharecropper". Well, why not? This news doesn't mean it wasn't their best choice.
- ska 10y agoYou would have been better off making that point, then. Creating a false dichotomy didn't help you, it's even sillier that original implication that you should never do this. The real maxim is something like "be very careful when your business model is (some better word than sharecropping) - because it can be disabled at any point"
