      With a job or other source of income, or lifestyle that propogates/depends on less overall harm.

            No, I understand the businesses need to have income operate. I’m trying to figure out how you’re planning on running a Video distribution platform and cover cost

              Nebula seems to have figured this out.

              Same with Peer Tube.

              Plenty of ways to run a business or online service or productive enterprise that are not ‘be a shareholder profit driven advertisment company’, just takes a bit of … economic imagination.

                Fair enough, hopefully they can scale up.

                I don’t see the difference in paying for nebula and paying for YouTube though

                  My whole point here, this whole hill that I have been dying on, is that mass advertisement targeted at people with algorithmic precision is the problem, because its a worst case scenario combination of pushing regressive / fascist propoganda whilst also enriching megacorporations.

                  But your take away was apparently that I was saying something like ‘companies should just provide services/products for free and then just go bankrupt’ … ???
