- atonse 3y agoYeah I find this fashionable statement often meaningless when used. They literally gave an example of how when people were buying them, there was a lot of innovation. That was capitalism too, right? In fact, if there is any innovation do be had here, it’ll only happen because of monetary motivations.
- jacknews 3y agoThe problem with any argument over capitalism is that it is responsible for both good and bad. On the one hand all the innovation and cheap prices are a result of capitalism driven competition. On the other hand, all the deceptive marketing, addictive vacuous features, vendor lock-in, planned obsolescence and enshitification are also a result of capitalism, which only cares about maximizing profits and return on capital.
