>The internet has been ruined by the mainstream and the money grubbers.
Predatory practical monopolies and outdated labor laws functioning as intended.
This is one of the under-appreciated aspects of capitalism: the profit motive encourages the unscrupulous to surface ethical holes in the market. If only we were principled enough to do something with this information.
- anon1m0us 7y agoYes! That's what I'm getting at! The reality of Youtube is that it made it easier to upload videos. The amount of time it takes to learn how to do that and build your own content distribution mechanism isn't really that hard. Most of us around here could do it in a day or two using FFMPEG and amazon buckets. It actually does in fact take less time to build something to share your own content than it does to create the content itself. That's why I don't understand why does airbnb take 10% of the transaction? They are just a website. Why does Apple take 30%? They are just a search engine. And google makes something like $1.2 million per employee. How much of that on average does the google employee get to keep? Is it more or less than content creators?
