Competition is not always good. Competition between wage labour drives down wages, competition between countries for capital drives down taxes for the rich. Half of all competition is a thing called “a race to the bottom”
WRT social media networks competition is first and foremost pretty dumb, there is no use for thousands of social networks with 10 users each.
A single social medium that is participatory and has regulating mechanisms is way more beneficial (you’re using one that tries to live up to that btw)
Whatever little good comes out of the competition between two asshole oligarchs is more than made up be them keeping dominance over peoples means of communication and their attention and selling every datapoint to
Honestly we have to reflect on the propaganda we’re told in school and don’t just repeat empty phrases.
Just a couple minutes ago I saw the phrase “where there is demand there will be supply” applied to pirates that crack games who are obviously not paid.
There is lots of demand without supply. Peoples starvation is not met by demand, but the demand for facelifts and botox will always be supplied. Bc supply is only created where capital is willing to pay for it
Isn’t Youtube doing that already? I see way more ads nowadays than I used to, when I’m not using ublock origin (yay non-Android smart tv). Also blocking users with adblockers, etc.
Twitter ran by musk is unlikely to be our savior
Any competition is good competition. If he offers competitive earnings to youtube, youtube is pressured to improve their product or pay for views.
I see someone was hypnotised by penguinz0
Srsly though end these hollow phrases.

So you think video streaming services should be in a monopoly?
You think that will be the best for the consumer and content creators?
I disagree.
