I make a distinction between understanding the inherent friction of Labor and Capital along with a broad and deep awareness of the stacked playing field
I don’t think you did so i clarified. You essentially possited: “But ohh gee, if idiots don’t buy this slop, company loses money, and developer loses the job”
See:
That’s a pretty short term view though, no? Presumably if an expected revenue stream does not generate flow to supplant the initial capital outlay, said business will not be a going concern for long?
If enough people feel this way to punish the rent seeker, he has a choice to adjust his rent seeking model to appease the paying customer. If he fails to do so, that’s a classic “free market” in the raw dog form, as it should too!
Your analysis entirely skips this key point, which is frankly the entire thesis for “vote with your money”
Most people aint here to get freebies for nothing, they will pay when it is proper to do so. But we will not be feeding a parasites. media and software is 100% discretionary so we have this choice here. rent and healthcare will require more rogue tactics.
I think your focus is too narrow and your anger and need for someone to be punished for the awful systems that we are forced to survive within are clouding your ability to see the larger picture specific to the necessities of survival.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but you sound like you’re speaking from a place of privilege, and I am allowing room for the realities of this current-state existence.
As I said, conflating two separate things. It doesn’t void the validity of either to acknowledge them.
Yeah thanks for the insight
