Under capitalism, anything they can extract money for, they will.

  I mean, this applies under all other economic systems too. I think no system removes human or organizational greed. So your comment seems odd to me. What other economic systems would prevent app makers from extracting as much money as they possibly can?

    Systems that don't use money? Systems with a lot of regulations? Use your imagination.

      What systems don’t use money? What systems regulate the types of apps on phones and PCs? I’m using my imagination but outside of Star Trek and other sci-fi, I’m drawing a blank. Are there any present day, earth economic systems that would result in a different outcome? BTW, Spotify is Swedish and they are closer to socialism than capitalism. So the comment I replied to would be as accurate it it said “humans” or something instead of capitalist.

        Social safety nets in a capitalist society don’t make a country closer to socialism. Same with decent worker rights. Neoliberalism has done a huge shift into pushing the world towards capitalism. I don’t think the state needs to own the means of production to be socialist. At the very least 50% of private companies should be co-ops to be called more socialist than capitalist.
