Umm, yeah...
Other than pure rent-seeking every single thing under the sun could be considered a "socialist cudgel" by this logic.
I honestly don't understand how they are trying to further their argument by using this quote in the article.
- wild_preference 8y agoI don’t even get it. HNers complain about having to subscribe to both Netflix and Hulu. What options does my 10 year old collaborative writing forum for mostly teens have? Now that my ad revenue has died over the years, all that’s left is the charity of me paying out of my pocket. Then we’ll be left with centralized sites like Reddit. I guess is the utopia that HNers envision.
