  which is easy to compete with for a government platform. in a lot of countries it would save a lot of money if the tax office had direct access to the product and purchase database. Thousands of people could move to more useful jobs.

  That's the same trap that TikTok influencers and others fall into. You are sold "the dream" by showing top sellers / influencers / etc. and told you can be like them. Kevin O'Leary became a meme for promoting this bullshit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqemytQ5QA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuqemytQ5QA In fact, even the top influencers can be deplatformed in an instant, and their speech is controlled. And same with Amazon. But the thing is that the people you never hear about, the "middle class", are far more controlled and the "long tail" produces all that free content that basically gets almost new views / buys but all that free sharecropper content is then used to train AI models or provide proof of large available inventory / product / content BY THE PLATFORM that pits them all against each other in a zero-sum game. https://www.reddit.com/r/quotes/comments/117oh1m/the_upper_class_keeps_all_of_the_money_pays_none/ https://www.reddit.com/r/quotes/comments/117oh1m/the_upper_c...

    > Kevin O'Leary became a meme for promoting this bullshit: The women is Amanda Lang,[1] and the two were a 'duo' for many years with a business/finance reporting show. I'm not sure how she managed to put up with him for so long. :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Lang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Lang
