You're not "punishing" them by passing off the higher costs of that channel to the consumer. You're creating an incentive to buy your product via lower-cost channels, so everyone wins (except Amazon).

I'm not sure who "us" is for you, but Swedes are not vaccinated at an especially high rate. They're at about the EU average. 8-10% above the US average, 5-7% above California, but a few percent below New England, for exa

So if I see it on her creator page does that mean it's been un-unlisted then?

by rory 5y ago
Yeah it's still listed on her channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/YeonmiParkOfficial/videos . I'm curious what "visibility: unlisted" means. Would it show up in the feed of a subscriber?

Ah, well that's disappointing (but in as more real sense, reassuring).

Well of course, you can't just have people doing unlicensed rain dances willy-nilly.

That use is less arbitrary, and perhaps more cynical.

I guess, by nature of being online, their stores are always open? But really it's more likely to be a cynical use of an arbitrary word with positive associations (and a use that itself dilutes those positive associations).

Right, I guess that's my central point. Capitalism is great for a lot if things, but "public-private partnerships" have proven worse than just letting public goods (like low income housing) be public.

From your description, it sounds like the market is delivering the desired results within a given neighborhood, but failing to solve a tragedy of the commons between neighborhoods.
