+1 for such an extensive, well-founded rant

Interesting read. The statements by SJP are really disgusting and the Maoist revolutionary rethoric is repulsive to say the least.

Payback is fair? Even though these very digital megacorporations are just now facing antitrust lawsuits for very good reasons? The only argument for having to use these platforms as a content creator is reach. But if Google, Amazon, Meta, etc. only got their market-dominating positions by illegal means, nothing is fair about wanting payback.

I am paying money to people creating content for me directly, even for some YouTube channels. If I were to abide by Google’s rules, I’d have to pay double. For the infrastructure & the people actually producing the content. Sorry… Why would I? I will not pity a monopolist because of their lost profits as long as I can circumvent it somehow.

Haha you’re right. I can’t understand how one could be so self-righteous as a union social media worker to post stuff like this, thereby risking your own standing and making the union more vulnerable to attacks for no reason whatsoever.

International solidarity my ass. The SWU post changes nothing like all the lip service changes nothing. No matter if it’s on social media, voiced by politicians or yelled on the streets.

What is a “serious gamer”?

Thank you for the explanations!
