    The absolute absurdity of framing and drawing comparisons between the technology sector and feudalism.

      Well that’s why he called it “techno-feudalism” because he does recognise it’s anachronistic

      Have you watched the video? The point stands tho. Argument goes as follows: “just like in feudal times you were forced to pay a rent for the privilege of living on the land of your lord, likewise nowadays companies seek to establish a rent seeking position, like leeches, where you pay for the sole privilege of using their product. It’s different from ‘a price’ because customers often have no other choice.”
