I know the commenter you’re referring to may come across as venting but I’ll try to be generous to their take:
In my laymans understanding of game theory, one of the things that becomes apparent is that the best outcomes come from cooperation but only when freeloading can be kept below some threshold. Once freeloading reaches some tipping point, the system destabilizes and collapses.

What’s not clear to me is what constitutes a real tipping point where we can claim a destabilizing effect that makes the system unsustainable
