A golden cage is still a cage. No matter how comfortable they make your life, we can not look only at the services they provide, we need to also look at the restrictions they impose.
- Gigachad 4y agoThe iPhone is like a service. I don’t see a restaurant as a cage because I didn’t control exactly how my food is made. I don’t want to deal with that, I want to build trust with a business and get the service I want. When I stop getting satisfactory service, I pick a different business.
- rglullis 4y agoIn your scenario, Apple is not a restaurant. Apple is the tomato farmer that makes perfectly genetically engineered red tomatoes, with extra vitamins and whose yield is unmatched by any other. It seems great, until you realize that all restaurants end up buying from them and after some years they put all other farmers out of business and you have no other choice in the market. Now they can charge whatever they want, and if you are a cook who would like to use some different variety of tomato, you are kindly told to get lost. Also, we all have to spend the rest of your lives praying that there is no new disease that can come up and affect the tomatoes sold by them.
