That sounds about right.

+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.
Thanks for pointing that link out. Disgusting to say the least…
Wrong. It’s the talk of authoritarian extremist politicians in all countries.
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.
Kardamumma!
