> late-stage degenerate capitalism.
What specifically is your objection?
Strip clubs and peep shows have been around for a long time, including during protocapitalism, degenerate or not. This is not a new incursion of the economy into social life. It's just much safer for the workers, and on average much more poorly paid because of the scale-free medium.
Is your objection to the inevitable result of scale-free networks, the winner-take-all nature of internet-mediated commerce? I can agree with that. A society in which 0.01% become very rich while everyone else starves is not a healthy society.
No-one seems very keen on balkanising the internet, though, and no-one's been able to crack the coordination problems involved in other possible solutions.
