It's still a lower effort contribution and because the surface is plausible and the content is usually verbose, it's a bigger waste of time for the other party than a low effort 100% human contribution.

I've read and seen more about it than I should have, as a non-American that's never going to live in the US. Press cycles in smaller countries are inundated with US news. There is probably a lot I don't know so please ask and

Their democratic system is completely broken at the moment. 1. Fixed number of Senate spots, regardless of State population. 2. First past the post voting everywhere leading to 2 party system. 3. Broken electoral college voting system for p

To add to that. Those magical 50s and 60s? Basically the entire industrial base in Eurasia had been destroyed during WW2. Unsurprisingly the only unscathed industrialized country in the world entered an unprecedented boom. Assuming that eve

At least for RAM that's not happening. Modern hardware is extremely hard to manufacturer so the moat is huge. We have a handful of makers that silently collude to keep profits up. Even if that weren't the case, spinning up new fab

Meh. Have you tried to sell basic software? It's been cheap or free since the shareware days of the early 90s. Most devs weren't being paid out of that.

The whole business model is poisonous and extractive. 90% of the businesses launched aren't valid, and then the few that are get bought up by oligopolists/monopolists.

Regular SaaS businesses are not capital intensive once launched, they're mostly pure software plays. Their marginal user cost trends towards 0. This stuff isn't hard if you keep an open mind.
