Well, here’s the thing. That is how the world works. You do get shit delivered to you within a day or two. You do get to watch whatever you want, either for free, or for a price. We do get to do those entitled things simply because we were deadly serious about being entitled fucks.
So, with that said. I do want prices to a) drop b) services to consolidate and if they don’t, I will get all my shit for free. And so will others.
And we’ll have a better world because of it. The same way we have everything else at our fingertips.
See, if we want to talk about reality and how the world works, then the truth is everything is built on leverage. If users opt for free, well then that’s a whole lot of leverage. No huffing and puffing will solve that, now will it? That’s reality.
If we couldn’t get it for free, then we’d have no leverage, they would. Then they can charge anything, and no huffing and puffing would solve it.
Calling them greedy, or calling us entitled, is just huffing and puffing. That’s how the world works.
The consumer and business are never in a discussion (there’s nothing to discuss). It is always a barter based on leverage. “Why don’t you pay this price, you are being entitled”, is not something the business can say to me, and likewise, “Why don’t you lower the price, you are being greedy”, is not something I can say to the business.
