this speech, now recorded as a podcast, or otherwise published in a digital medium is now become a revenue source. it all hinges on the impossibility of freely copying this (or that) content. If you want it, you must pay the content creator through the platform (which takes a cut) using payment-processor (which takes a cut) which causes taxes (the government's cut) this in my weird stranged mind is deeply tied to this situation: that we won't own the place we live in, or that we will only be able to rent it (housing as a subscription service) is part of this. because what we will be permitted to own are these "digital asssets" we create using social-media-cretaion tools (e.g. instagram, tiktok). free as in beer? free as in liberty?? these are secondary concerns to the logic of the networked marketplaces and the aggregator platforms. some more "examples": your meme that you made went viral in "touristic destination" so now you can afford a visit to there! or a more dysptoic "reach 100 views to afford chicken dinner. reach 1000 views! and you'll get a kobe beef deluxe dinner!!" I sure hope this remains an ellusive dystopic idea that never actually comes to pass
