I don't really think you can say that. Labor is not a perfect market.

And yet, we keep hearing about a shortage of developers.

I feel the first few issues can be greatly alleviated by simply taking those issues seriously, making it known that kind of behavior simply isn't tolerated, and following through if those things ever come up. That last one is the key,

Your analogies are not working. They are not at all on point, and they are not at all relatable to the situation.

You're saying this like you're entitled to the content, though. You're not. And quite frankly, I find taking the content without supporting the creator to be much, much worse than you consider ads to be.

I just cannot buy this argument. Comparing the Soup Nazi to someone who chose to make content for you, is just ludicrous. For one, the Soup Nazi actively berated people. Someone making videos because they want to make videos is not doing an

Saying it's inconvenient, or that you'd prefer text is an opinion. But that's not what OP said; they said it's hostile. That is an entitlement.

sigh No, no it isn't. Not even close. The fact of the matter is, people want to be paid for the stuff they create. That's how they're enabled to create more of that stuff. We learned a long, long time ago that people didn&#

I cannot agree with this sentiment. You're basically demanding that these creators work for you, for free. If you choose to skip the ads, then how should the creators be compensated for the content that you consumed? "With regard

That's even scummier than most of the ad targeting stuff out there.

"Like I have the time or desire to compete with most of these yokels." Then stop complaining. "Content creators are not some unassailable gift horse immune from inspection or criticism. People are free to criticize the things

All content creators are stroking their egos. I'm sorry, but I still see nothing "hostile" about them choosing one medium over the other. You might have a slight inconvenience, but that's it. If you don't like thing

And accessibility would be a thing of the past.
584.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
So don't consume it, instead of complaining that they're being "hostile" to you. Or, even better, create your own content in written form to compete.
585.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
So write those articles yourself.
586.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
No, the idea that something can be "hostile" hinges on the idea that you were entitled to it in the other form to begin with. Someone not providing content in the form you wish is an inconvenience at best.
587.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
I wouldn't, because they could just as easily not make the content, and then you wouldn't have it in any form. And the greater point there, that you appear to have missed, is that content creators don't really owe you anythin

Please do not try to taint this discussion with the idea that Trump voters are the real victims.

It could also be a health incentive, to get people to quit smoking, and thus lower their healthcare costs (if in the US).

by s73ver_ 9y ago
I'm sorry, but I cannot get behind the idea that a creator choosing to deliver their content that they made in a form they chose can be hostile to you.

Rand's epistemology is shallow and uninformed itself, so it seems to work out.

The spinning pinwheel isn't the joke?

How many of them have to be scams before we can? Cause it seems to be more than "some".

They're based in Israel, though. What does the Israeli SEC say about that?

As an end user, what does this do for me? I know developers don't always like CLAs, but as an end user, knowing that the whole project is under one license with one entity, makes it a lot easier to deal with.

And? Your point being? Should the grocery store also give you free food because you didn't ask them to have a store? Again, you being poor sucks. That does not change things for them, however. They still need to make money, and if you

I'm sorry, but that just tells me you've never been in that kind of situation. Which tells me that you lack empathy for other people.

I highly disagree. And no, I don't fall into one of those categories; I'm just not willing to put up with random and arbitrary bullshit. Which is what those things are. Yes, I could operate under all those conditions. I choose not

If it's something that a hiring manager uses to make a determination, it's a policy.
